Mk I AEM polymer pump printed in HDPE...

I won't burden you all with the details save to say that Tommelise appears to have successfully printed an evolved polymer pump for the Mk I AEM extruder. It's blogged in the "Builder's" blog on the RepRap site.

I'm not sure but I think that this means that Tommelise is the secondRepRap machine after Zaphod to print a part of itself which can replace a part or parts on itself.

Congratulations! What with your success and Eric getting darned close, I
think it's nearly time to have a "RepRaps Around The World" page. Maybe
a layer to Google Earth or something?

Actually, it'd be nice to have a page that we can plot the proliferation
rate on.

Vik :v)

Brilliant! Yes - I think you're the second.

I like Vik's idea of a google map of builders...

Now I'm going to print that little HDPE cap for the windscreen wiper solution tank on my Jeep that split about six months ago.
