A Brief History of RepRap with Sanjay Mortimer (VERRF Special) 

Please make a video about the more recent RepRap history. Great videos guys!

Rest in Peace Sanjay. You were a founding father and innovator of the 3D printing community. My heart goes out to everyone feeling this loss.

Yes! Please would love to see that!

The first big upgrade on my reprap was a no brainer. An authentic E3D hot end. I have never regretted using an E3D hot end. You will be missed Sanjay

YES!!!! Would love to see the "rest of the story" where it evolved past this point!!!

Rest in Peace Sanjay!! A massive loss to the community.. What a bright and talented young man he was!!!! My sincere condolences to the family!!!!

The history behind reprap is damn fascinating.

I love this end segment. The true, unscripted, enthusiastic and knowledgeable man we are all a little worse for not being in the world any more.

Please make a video about the more recent RepRap history :)

the memories.. building a reprap from scratch with crappy printed parts and enhanced with vitamins.. now i have my perfect 3d printers full of parts froms different projects and my own designed parts... beautiful project for learning.

Great video and great production!!! In addition to wanting to watch a follow on video (RepRap, years 2010+) I like to see a video on the history of Marlin.

Would love a more recent history as well. I started with my self sourced Mendel90 in 2012, I think. Great times back then with the change from 3mm to 1,75mm happening after then and trying to source printing materials at a reasonable price at a resonable quality :D

A further video on this would be great. I started with the RepRap Pro Mendel in 2012, and got a Prusa Mk2 in I think 2016. Still have both of them. It has been fun watching the familiarity with 3D printing rise over the years. At first, I'd have to spend about 10 minutes explaining what it is. Now I get straight to the questions on how expensive/difficult/practical it is. So much progress in so little time.

Please make the video! This video was awesome and also really fun to watch. 😉

Thank you for sharing this! Great video. Extremely informative. Would love to see you deliver more topics in this format.

I'm gonna miss this guy. He was legitimately excited about the technology and what it could do, and had his own charm. Also, did he correctly predict Tesla's die casting ambition?

Please do a follow up Video! Great job with this one :)

My first printer was a RepRapPro Mendel and it and it gave me the starting momentum to become an engineer. Great summary video :)

Heres to the many successful hours of jam free printing Sanjay(and the team) brought us RIP Sanjay :,(

I would love to 👀 a video of more recent RepRap history!!

Love it love it love it !!! Really cool to learn more about the history behind the community that got everything started!! Would love to see more videos covering the topic !! Fantastic E3D !! 😁

I like it how Sanjay appears to be wearing the same shirt throughout, even in "flashbacks"!

More please! I would love to hear more about e3d's history as well!

Love it! I’d like to see more recent RepRap as well

Thank you for making this 1st video. I think a second video, from your perspective, that documents 3D printing conceptual additions, simplifications and great innovations(even if they failed initially) would allow more growth and advancement of the "species" and would give you(us too, we might love to help crowd design/innovate) a platform to talk about future ideas and advanced printers and printer techniques... That video would be a good platform and allow you to expand of how tool changers can be more then just 2nd and 3rd material options. Your printers seem top end, and your tool changers, hot end design and your investigation into actual flow surface finish is top notch(me, engineer, I really respect that). As you pursue Lexus/Infinity type printers have you given any thought into spinning off or branding a more Honda/Toyota-ish line of reprap DIYs/kit or the like?,,, sort of the "CRISPH Cas9" method of advancing the herd forward(?) PS let us know best location to drop off conceptual ideas and insights that might help. TTFN

Rest in peace, Sanjay.

Sanjay does such a great job presenting. Also, the editing and visuals were VERY well done! Oh, and the graphics / sounds during the "do not clone" bit... EXCELLENT!

If that would have been a powerpoint presentation you had used all available effects for it :D Nice work :)

Cool video! Enjoyed it all. An updated one would be really nice to see.

Rest in Peace Sanjay. We missed you.

I just got into 3D printing with an ender 3v2 and would love to know the history of it all. I’m a little late to all this. Thank you!

Please make the full history in one video.

I remember my Mendel. It was a POS, but it spawned the birth of future greatness.

Full version please 😂 I like it. Thx for the good memories

Thanks Sanjay, this is a good reminder of the Early RepRap adventure. People needs to know where everything's comming from. Will you cover the Jhead ? ;)

I like this less "ad"-like video, please do more of those :)

If the 3D printer could collect energy via building parabolic mirrors or solar panels or turbines and it used easily gotten materials like mud-cement, silica, alumina, it could self-replicate by printing an arm and printing energy collectors although it will be limited by electronics which are cheap to build.

8:18 : YES!

Great video, yes, please make the updated version. You showed my first printer, the failed Thing o Magic. My modified version built the parts for my much bigger working printers, so, success!

Great story! Thanks!

Would love more. I remember watching this from the sidelines thinking it would be a fun project to join but it took me 9 years before I even started.

Rest in peace.

RIP Sanjay

Yep, like the other posters I would also like to see a video about the more recent history of RepRap

RIP Sanjay.

2:46 I recognized that sound

Cool Video thank you very much

RIP

Pleeeeeease make the next video!

HAHAHAHA the editing in this is 10/10

Nice video. Great to see by beloved K8200 feature heavily 🤣

My heart is broken that this giant of FDM technology is gone.

God bless Adrian Bowyer.

yeay!

I love this style! You should reach out to Bill Masters ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_(Bill)_Masters ) about the further history of 3D Printing!

as much as I love fdm i always want a new method to be invented somehow . one that's like. more accurate and has more Z strengh!

This is why 3d printing people hate patents. We would have had this technology 20 years ago. What a fucking waste.

emaker huxley didnt exist in 2010 , here's the first print of the first ever emaker huxley ; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KPJoeSWaPuU.html

Rest in peace, Sanjay.
