Re: any one use a rep rap?

Hmm there are lots of versions of the reprap

there are several control boards running them

you may want to look at the wikis  on reprap.org

you need software package  such as
http://www.repetier.com/download/
and a roll of pla check the size you need I expect 1.75 mm .
if you can tell us more about what version of the reprap you have  maybe someone with more experience can help.

http://reprap.org/wiki/DriverSoftware#Installation  If you have a Darwin, this should be the firmware and walkthrough (I skimmed, to be honest).
And yes, RH advertises as being and to run Mendel.
