Things to make
From Wiki
Running out of ideas of things to make? This page contains links to places where you can get inspration, ideas, designs or files for printing.
If you have designed and made something spectacular or useful please add the file/link here (or better still on the Rapman forum). Note: As most people have their own preferences for speeds and feeds it is best not to upload g-code. Skeinforge can convert STL, GTS, OBJ, SVG or XML files (see File Formats).... best to stick to these!

Spare Parts
A good idea is to start with printing some Spare parts. Just in case something breaks later on.
Thingiverse
This is a place where digital designs are shared that can be made into real, physical objects. "Let's create a better universe, together"!
Link to the Thingiverse site.
One interesting part may be the tools section to use the repman as one tool to build other tools.
Google 3D Warehouse
Users ofGoogle SketchUp can download and use thousands of 3D objects from the Google 3D Warehouse. The files will need to be downloaded to SketchUp and converted to STL (maybe with some editing and re-scaling). Google 3D Warehouse Home Page.

3D ContentCentral
A huge range of parts and assemblies on this site that can be downloaded for "free". Explore, configure, and download free parts and assemblies for SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Pro/Engineer, CATIA, Unigraphics, Google Sketchup and more. An account is needed but signing up costs nothing (no spam generated!). Some of these parts are suitable for use with RapMan or can be edited. Otherwise a great source of general CAD parts for use in your CAD program.
