RepRap is a form of Universal Constructor. A Universal Constructor is a machine that can copy itself. The idea was originally von Neumann's.

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:

The newest generation of reprap electronics is Generation 3. http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/Generation3Electronics
