I don't get your point, all repraps are made with printed parts, what do you want to say, we should all stop with it? lolQuote

Precision can be a problem, especially if you're trying to print parts to make another printer. Getting beyond the basic precision and accuracy of the positioning mechanisms, how many people bother to actually align the axes of their machines and calibrate their extruders?
Using printers to print parts to make other printers is a nice philosophy, but if you think about it, you come to the conclusion that it's a really bad idea. It's like making a copy of a cassette tape, then using that copy to make another copy, and so on. Pretty soon all you have is noise. If you're going to print parts for other machines, the machine they are printed on will always be better than the machine made from the parts it prints. If you start with a good machine, you might get a couple generations of copies that sort of work OK. If you start with a crappy machine, your next generation will be extra crappy.
