It’s a 3D printer that uses 3D printed components for many of its parts, often built using open-source designs like RepRap.
The idea of a 3D printed 3D printer has become one of the most exciting developments in additive manufacturing. From DIY RepRap builds to custom printer upgrades, creators around the world are using 3D printing to build and improve their own machines.
But whether you’re building parts for a printer, upgrading components, or experimenting with new designs, one thing remains critical: the quality of your 3D printer filament.
At Filamatrix, we provide American-made filament engineered for consistency, strength, and precision, helping you successfully create the parts that power your 3D printing projects.

A 3D printed 3D printer refers to a machine where many of its structural or functional components are themselves 3D printed. This concept is at the heart of open-source projects like RepRap, where printers can replicate many of their own parts.
Common 3D printed printer components include:
These parts must be dimensionally accurate, strong, and consistent, making filament quality a key factor in success.
