He was awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019 for his services to 3D printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first RepRap 3D printer invented by Dr Bowyer was the RepRap Dawin, named after Charles Darwin who first theorized evolution. You could build one for a few hundred dollars if you got the plastic parts printed and then bought the electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These were the first ever low cost 3D printers; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/best-cheap-diy-3d-printer-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3901\">DIY 3D printers<\/a> you could build yourself. What was previously inaccessible became possible for anyone to have at home if you had enough tech know-how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you were given the plastic parts 3D printed by a friend or someone else, you were morally obliged to print more plastic parts for anyone else who wanted a RepRap. That way, the RepRap movement could spread exponentially, with more printers in service to help others make their own 3D printers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-first-reprap-3d-printer-reprap-darwin\">The first RepRap 3D printer &#8212; RepRap Darwin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It was basic, it looked like it was from the 80s, but it worked. It worked for $200 while other 3D printers costed $10,000+. This spurred on the open source 3D printing revolution that has led us to the cutting-edge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/best-fdm-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3902\">FDM 3D printers<\/a> we have today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RepRap-3D-Printer-Darwin.jpg\" alt=\"first reprap 3d printer darwin by adrian bowyer history of the reprap movement\" class=\"wp-image-1823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RepRap-3D-Printer-Darwin.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RepRap-3D-Printer-Darwin-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Named after Charles Darwin, this is the 3D printer that really kickstarted the RepRap movement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Darwin plays an important part in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/guides\/history-of-3d-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3903\">history of 3D printing<\/a>, and allowed people to now 3D print from home provided they had the technological know-how.

The printer. The legend. The Prusa RepRap kit is the unmistakable king of RepRap 3D printers. There&#8217;s a reason why Josef Prusa&#8217;s invention shot him into the 3D printing stratosphere and landed him a place on Forbes&#8217; 30 under 30 list &#8212; the printer is incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sporting a 250 x 210 x 200 mm print volume as well as up to 50-micron layer resolution, the Prusa i3 is accurate and reliable. It&#8217;s designed to be simple to use, and true to the RepRap philosophy can print all its plastic components. As a result of its success, Josef Prusa has had to print over 200 more Prusa 3D printers, so this Prusa farm can print enough Prusa 3D printers to keep up with demand! Prusaception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a consistent and high-quality RepRap 3D printer or 3D printer kit, look no further. You can buy your Prusa 3D printer pre-assembled, or build your own to save a few hundred dollars. It prints with layers up to 0.05mm for great precision and surface finish, features a spring metal build plate for changeable PEI sheets, and is also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/fastest-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3907\">fast 3D printer<\/a>, able to travel at over 200mm\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For business who want to print tougher filaments like Polycarbonate or Nylon, the Prusa i3 MK3S can handle that, too. The extruder heats up to 300C, and the high quality E3D V6 nozzle can handle even abrasive filaments.

Despite not having a weighed down aluminium frame or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/dual-extruder-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3928\">dual extruder<\/a>, the Anet A8 is fairly precise. The stainless steel rail rods, gears and bearings make the printing process more steady, though stability will be slightly worse than if the structure was made of metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Anet-A8-DIY-Kit-Assembly-Parts.jpg\" alt=\"anet a8 diy kit parts to assemble\" class=\"wp-image-3105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Anet-A8-DIY-Kit-Assembly-Parts.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Anet-A8-DIY-Kit-Assembly-Parts-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The different parts of the Anet A8 to assemble this DIY kit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Anet A8 does not come assembled; you&#8217;ll need to build it yourself following Anet&#8217;s step-by-step instructions. Most find this more rewarding than buying a plug &amp; play 3D printer, and it&#8217;s a great way to learn more about how they function. You can print with your Anet A8 using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-software\/best-3d-slicer-printer-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3929\">3D slicers<\/a> including Cura and Repetier-Host, and transfer your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/best-free-3d-printer-models-thingiverse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3930\">3D printer models<\/a> over via SD card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the cheap price, the Anet A8 comes with a few neat features. It comes with a heated bed, meaning it can print ABS and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printer-materials\/petg-filament\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3931\">PETG<\/a>, rather than just PLA. It&#8217;s also got quite a large printing volume: 220 x 220 x 240 mm. Overall, if you&#8217;re looking for a RepRap 3D printer which doesn&#8217;t break the bank and gets you started in 3D printing, the Anet A8 is a great option at just $200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Anet-A8-DIY-3D-printer-kit.jpg\" alt=\"anet a8 best reprap 3d printer\" class=\"wp-image-1819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Anet-A8-DIY-3D-printer-kit.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Anet-A8-DIY-3D-printer-kit-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-5-creality-cr-10-cr-10-v3\">5.

We&#8217;ve picked both the original CR-10 and the V3, so you can choose between the upgraded but more expensive version, or the lower cost and classic original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though a RepRap kit at heart, the CR-10 can be assembled in under an hour without much DIY skill, making it a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/best-3d-printer-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3934\">3D printer for beginners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is it reliable, but for the price it can print huge models, at up to 300 x 300 x 400 mm. It truly is a <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/rankings\/best-large-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"3935\">large 3D printer<\/a>. In addition, the ability to print with a minimum layer thickness of just 0.05mm is very precise for a RepRap 3D printer kit for $500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complementing this printing precision is the stronger and heavier frame supported by triangular z-axis beams that feature on the CR-10 V3 &#8212; but not on the standard CR-10. The frame shape has changed to a more triangular shape &#8212; more similar looking to the original RepRap Mendel! &#8212; in order improve print stability and reduce the Z axis wobble, key to improving print quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CR-10 also has a filament breakage detector that pauses if it detects any issues without ruining your print, and can automatically resume printing in the event of a power outage. These are key features that you really don&#8217;t appreciate until disaster strikes 49 hours into a 50 hour print and they save you &#8212; but are an absolute life-saver. Overall, we highly recommend the Creality CR-10 V2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the Creality CR-10 source files are available <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Creality3DPrinting\/CR-10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3936\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Creality-CR-10-V2-RepRap-kit.jpg\" alt=\"creality cr-10 v2 reprap kit\" class=\"wp-image-3777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Creality-CR-10-V2-RepRap-kit.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Creality-CR-10-V2-RepRap-kit-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-6-flsun-qq-s-delta-upgrade-on-the-reprap-kossel\">6.

The FLSUN QQ-S is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/delta-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3940\">delta 3D printer<\/a> that you can buy almost fully pre-assembled for $369. Delta 3D printers are typically tall and thin, with the FLSUN QQ-S able to print up to 360 mm tall prints, with an XY axis of 255 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kossel RepRap machines were thought of as tougher to master 3D printers for more experienced makers. Now with the FLSUN QQ-S the learning curve is far reduced, especially since the RepRap upgrade ships to you almost completely assembled. The 3.2-inch touchscreen is very easy to use, and the printer comes with an SD card with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-software\/best-3d-slicer-printer-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3941\">3D slicer software<\/a> on it, though you can also connect to the printer via WiFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another main selling point is that it&#8217;s noticeably (or perhaps unnoticeably!) quiet &#8212; FLSUN claim it prints at under 50 dB. This, coupled with the fans and cooling system to avoid overheating and reduce any bad smells, makes the FLSUN QQ-S a great RepRap printer for your home. It retains the quick printing, around 30% faster than the average printer, so if time is of the essence, you could do worse than go with the FLSUN QQ-S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s accurate, quiet, fast and doesn&#8217;t take up too much space on a desktop. We recommend it highly. The only drawback is that it may not seem as truly RepRap as it comes more or less pre-assembled, but it evolved from the original RepRap Kossel design so we feel it is worthy of inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FLSUN-QQ-S-RepRap-Kossel-Upgrade.jpg\" alt=\"flsun qq-s reprap kossel upgrade\" class=\"wp-image-3086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FLSUN-QQ-S-RepRap-Kossel-Upgrade.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/FLSUN-QQ-S-RepRap-Kossel-Upgrade-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-bonus-reprap-mendel-legendary-reprap-3d-printer\">BONUS &#8212; RepRap Mendel &#8212; Legendary RepRap 3D Printer<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-205e45b9 gb-container-3613bd9f\" id=\"pros-cons-pattern\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-7ad3d995 gb-grid-wrapper-dab919b5\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-c6b86d51 gb-grid-column-ce5dd51d\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c6b86d51 gb-container-ce5dd51d\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-17aa4881 gb-headline-text gb-headline-a7803bff\">Pros<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-235d74d4 gb-headline-cca0dfdf\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">A true veteran of the game.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-807ab4d3 gb-headline-cca0dfdf\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Fairly large print volume at 200 x 200 x 140 mm.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-1325cb3b gb-grid-column-b97ad919\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-1325cb3b gb-container-b97ad919\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-494739bf gb-headline-text gb-headline-a7803bff\">Cons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-f0e9b325 gb-headline-ec22c345\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M256 8C119.034 8 8 119.033 8 256s111.034 248 248 248 248-111.034 248-248S392.967 8 256 8zm130.108 117.892c65.448 65.448 70 165.481 20.677 235.637L150.47 105.216c70.204-49.356 170.226-44.735 235.638 20.676zM125.892 386.108c-65.448-65.448-70-165.481-20.677-235.637L361.53 406.784c-70.203 49.356-170.226 44.736-235.638-20.676z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Its performance is now outdated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The first RepRap 3D printer on this list chosen because of its legacy rather than present performance, the RepRap Mendel is a true veteran of the game. The second iteration of the RepRap machines, the Mendel was the successor to the Darwin machine. It was designed and created by Ed Sells, a student of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/interviews\/reprap-dr-adrian-bowyer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3942\">Dr Adrian Bowyer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Named after Gregor Mendel, the &#8216;father of genetics&#8217;, this RepRap 3D printer weighs around 7kg and can print a fairly large 200 x 200 x 140 mm. Though it has a number of improvements over the Darwin, the sheer nostalgia and impact the Darwin has had since its introduction over a decade ago puts it above the Mendel for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RepRap-3D-Printer-Mendel.jpg\" alt=\"best reprap 3d printer mendel\" class=\"wp-image-1822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RepRap-3D-Printer-Mendel.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/RepRap-3D-Printer-Mendel-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> The RepRap Mendel, the second iteration of the original Darwin 3D printer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more RepRap-related information and further reading:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-7a40f7b5\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Our interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/interviews\/reprap-dr-adrian-bowyer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3943\">Dr Adrian Bowyer, discussing founding the RepRap movement<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-af73c56a\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Our long-form feature story on the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/guides\/history-of-3d-printing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3944\">history of 3D printing<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-bf27bbd6\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\">Our ranking of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/best-cheap-diy-3d-printer-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3945\">DIY 3D printer kits<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-57d8e6d4\"><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"gb-headline-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dsourced.com\/3d-printers\/how-to-get-a-free-3d-printer\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12803\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"3946\">Ways to get a free 3D printer<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in the early 2000s, 3D printers were elephant-sized behemoths that cost tens of thousands of dollars.
