I made this!
http://3dprint.com/63229/dollo-3d-printer-prints-itself

When 3d printers also print circuit boards and wind the stepper motors , then self assemble, Then we will have real self replicating machines maybe.

@JOHN_YN for sure! and trust me we are working on it. after we have this printer out on kickstarter we are going to be working on getting the printer to make its own PCB.

I need to se video of this machine

@Torleif_Ceder I had a video of it printing before it was even close to being done, I just wanted to see it working, but I deleted it because it was a terrible video, I will make a video of it printing this weekend and make sure to tag you

Looks interesting, a video would definitively be good! What are your plans for licencing and schedule for sharing the build files?

@Peter_Hertel ​ it is fully open source. And the files are up on my Github at http://github.com/benbeezy/dollo

Awesome! Perhaps I’ll start out with a coke size one to try it :wink:

@Peter_Hertel for sure! and if you like it, it can print its own upgrades to get bigger!

We now have a basic website up for the Dollo and If anyone wants updates, you can now go add your email to our list, so that you get updates once our kickstarter is live. http://dollo3d.com/
