Hi, I'm considering donating a small amount of money to this project each month. I was just wondering exactly what kind of funds we're talking about. If the project has a $40,000/year budget, my donation of $50-$100/month won't mean that much. It's a different case altogether, though, if the annual amount raised is closer to a few thousand dollars. If anyone could give me an idea of just how far my money would go, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I would suspect that for direct contributions to the Reprap project you ought to contact Dr Bowyer. Since he is the project manager for Reprap he will have the latest numbers on the project budget and will be able to give you the best idea of the impact that your proposed contribution would make.

You can get his contract details from the "people" link on the main page of the reprap.org website.
