First of all, I have an el-cheapo home DIY 3D printer too. By no means am I putting reprap machines down. I am merely stating an academic fact and based on my observation that many people and the media, seem to have this unfounded belief the reprap or makerbot community is leading some kind of revolutionary paradigm shift in technology because "now machines can build parts for itself! OMG!" - no, sorry we've been doing this since day 1 when apes began the transformation of having "human" intelligence. Old tools have always been used to make similar or newer better tools. Nothing new here. In fact, the current stage reprap machines isnt even capable of building all of its structural parts let alone the electronics. CNC mills/lathes do have the capability of replicating itself in its entirety if so designed.
