Some parts of RepRap can be developed independently. In particular, the [http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/ExtruderMechanicalParts Extruder] "print head" is pretty much independent of the chassis mechanism, and looks like a fun project. Might want to consider other print mechanisms too; this one may be specific to a few of the thermoplastics. | Some parts of RepRap can be developed independently.
