[Holy cow. Can you imagine a time when a person could singlehandedly have made a comprehensive list of all open source 3D printers in an afternoon?]
Here’s a list of all of the RepRap, RepStrap, and MakerBot open source 3d plastic FDM 3d printers I can find. When possible I’ve tried to link to the official site, helpful derivative sites, instructions, and parts. I’ve also included some notes.
