Chris of HydraRaptor just printed a set of parts for the Factor e Farm RepRap. See his blog post on the replication.
Here are some additional pictures:
Electronics
The newest generation of reprap electronics is Generation 3. http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/Generation3Electronics
Here is Edward, one of our True Fans, holding up the semi-completed Motherboard which he will use to build Factor e Farm's first
RepRap machine:
The chips come in kits that must be soldered and surface mounted.
Here is Edward and a friend working on the Motherboard and Extruder Controller.
