    FoldaRap P2P Edition

    The most interesting reward of this campaign, also probably the quickest way to have your kit!

    All you need to build the lastest version of the FoldaRap, excepted the printed parts.
    Find a local reprapper to add them to your kit !

    (hint : with probably more than 40 000 machines in the wild, there must be one near you, or we can still have them printed separately)

Often everything boils down to a simple thing, upon which a whole assembly rely and needs to work. It's easy to think of our hearth, brain, and organs... in the case of a RepRap I don't know what this one would be, but the hotend is one of the most...
