Is it an open hardware design? Where do they post their designs, anyway? I haven't found their repositories for previous models yet, their github only shows a couple contributions on RAMPS.

It seems disingenuous to call themselves RepRap.

Its a sheet Metal Design would you like to rebuild this ?

The Protos Plastis parts from GRRF you can download on Thinigiverse.

For The NEO are updates in Planing a Light will be available soon, and I heard a fan system is in discussion.

And for the People who would like to change him the firmware is available on request ( sure you will not get support but thats clear if you start to change on that level)

I already think about to add a headbed.

Hello,
Can anyone send me the "printerboard driver" for the NEO????
Or the link where I can find it.
I have a neo, but no CD..... I exchanged my 3D-router for this printer and the preveous owner of the NEO had lost his CD. I do not find this driver..... and have to install it folowing the quick-start-guide on page 5/32
