RepRap family tree April 21, 2011 10:25AM |
A friend and I had thought to make a sort of "family tree" showing the development and variation of the reprap project (and it's inspired cousins).
The goal : is to have a nice graphic and to print some sexy poster of it, maybe by pre-ordering a batch with the help of a kickstarter'like and then share it with the world.
Our deadline : mid-June (cause it will be cool to display it for the opening of the http://fablabsquared.org/ during an event in Paris)
At the moment we are mostly organizing the charts and trying some aesthetic concepts we had (from a simple visualization with pictograms to a CnCable version^^)
Maybe adding also a comparison table of the different printers and some interesting facts like the growing number of machines.
I wanted to add a page on the wiki for this project, and the Reprap_history encouraged me for that
So it's here : Reprap_Family_Tree
And you're welcome to help us for eventual mistake in the order of appearance, if you have an advice, etc... adding a following comment or on the "discussion" tab of the page

Did you ever wonder about the history of the reprap ?
Tadaaa, the new version is up :
[reprap.org]
What do you think ?

Thanks
The most common bots (roughly estimated) are those with a thick line (so the Darwin is less common today).

I don't like the icons, they add visual clutter without providing any more information than the filled circles.
Loving the project though, I'm going to print out one of the landscape ones and stick it on my wall

Thanks for the feedback ! Indeed for the icons' version, it's far from ready yet (and maybe for a limited tree, we will see^^).
And just saw the new makergear Mosaic, wow !
That's an interesting mix of concepts (mainly the one-arm-plateform of the Up! but in wood)
Always cool to see other printers poping sometimes
(hop just added it to the chart)

...I think the differentiation between commercial and OSHW is a little fuzzy. A MakerBot is commercial, but it's also OpenSource. UP! isn't open source, but it is working, which would give it the same icon as a MakerBot, which wouldn't be right.
I agree that we can improve the legend, it's clear in my mind but can generate some confusion as you suggested ^^'
The full blue circle mean "commercial and non-opensource" (and usually only released when working).
The black/blue circle is for the projects that are opensource but designed and sold by a specific company (like the makergear prusa, the techzone huxley or the makerbot cupcake)
I hesitated to move the blue at the bottom of the legend, to mean it's the exception while the rest is open-source.
We will see if that's clearer in the 2.11

Additional bot: Huxley MD which is almost completed - started March 2011
Self promotional plug i know but im hopig me and Jeanmarc can get the huxleys to be the 'Portable 3D Printer' which is reliable as the Prusa
Hope too, and will be added (thanks to mention the date for me)

How would you fit something like the RepRap Snapdragon, where the design is a hybrid of Darwin, MTM Snap (Not a RepRap), and Prusa design ideas?
I add a new branch :p
When its broadly inspired like that (to not draw line everywhere) and because its also a candidate for a greater self-replication (as many projects for the gada prize)

Exporting in SVG from illustrator seems to be a problem, could you also add the .ai file. I added the PDF file for the people who just want top print it. I'm going to use this graphic for a prezi presentation on a ICT-day for teachers, so it would be nice if i could use it and change it a little bit (adding pictures... ). Of course I give the prezi away under Creative Commons licence

@EtherDais no problem
@Andrew Diehl, I didn't knew this one, but will add it too. It's look interesting btw in the alu-slot kind of bot.
