  My own RepRap Mendel redesign

Prusa also contributed actively to rep rap, making improvements on the mendel printer, and improved the printer through a couple iterations until he hit the third iteration(i3), that is the basis of the MK series. Before shipping his own product, he shared the design on GitHub, and plenty of low cost manufacturers picked up on his source and blatantly produced their own i3 printers.
