μRepRap - A 3D printer project designed to work at the micron scale

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

The μRepRap project extends the open-source RepRap 3D printer to micron-scale fabrication. It uses GCODE, GRBL, NEMA17 steppers, and materials like UV nail gel and standard resin.

Useful for
  • Build a micron-scale PIKA 3D printer using OpenSCAD models and wiki instructions
  • Convert GCODE from PrusaSlicer into point-by-point deposition sequences
  • Print a PNG image via GCODE in dip-pen mode

4.0 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 16:02 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

01530July 21, 2026October 18, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 14:30–15:54: 140 → 168 stars (+28). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +37 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
  • Hacker News: “RepRapMicron” — 128 points, 2 h ago.
  • Recent forks include notable developers: @millette (310 followers).

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 0. -100% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
