FoldaRap, The Folding RepRap

Since 2012, I'm traveling around the town/country/world with my little folding RepRap !

I started by a folding reprap the size of a Mendel, then a smaller version more Huxley-transportable, and finally I'm developping this one build with standard aluminium extrusions.

The FoldaRap was the world's first foldable 3d-printer (yay!).

My adventures/travels with it gave birth to OpenEdge, which grew to make even more FoldaRap and Mondrian, then moved toward the industry/education with customs Alto and the HD/HD-E.

During the summer 2017 I went back working in FabLabs, but found time to update the FoldaRap with ideas waiting for implementation. I also started a LiberaPay account to explore alternative business-models : micro-donations for the design/documentation rather than selling hardware.
