I've built several printers from the original RepRap to a Wilson II and a Deltabot. Some of those plans are probably getting on in age. There was a time you couldn't buy a printer for the cost of building a reprap; those days are long gone. An Ender or similiar are so cheap and good now, it's hard to build one of similiar quality. But if you're just looking for a project, fill your boots.
I’m mostly interested in the novelty of a printed printer, it seems like a fun project. I’m all ears for recommendations of more modern or good starter RepRap designs though!
How about a 3D-printer that prints its own z-axis?
