Newsflash!

Due to an extremely high demand for parts we are currently undergoing a review of production processes to see how we can best meet demand. Consequently we are not taking any new orders but we are processing all existing orders as quickly as possible. At the same time as reviewing our production processes we are also looking at the design of the parts to ensure maximum quality and ease of operation.

We aim to be taking new orders again from May 26.

People who have already contacted us to make enquiries but have not ordered parts will be given priority when we are taking orders again. If you wish to make an enquiry and be added to our priority list or have any questions please e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Introducing Bits From Bytes

Bits From Bytes is a UK-based internet business specialising in making the latest innovations and technologies available to engineering enthusiasts and model-makers.

RepRap On-Line Parts Supply

Bits From Bytes is the ONLY place you can get all your parts for a complete RepRap “Replicating Rapid-prototyper”.

We aim to provide not only the hardware but the software too and links to all the sites you would need to know about in order to be completely up-to-date with theRepRap movement.

What is RepRap?

RepRap is an open source project originally conceived by Dr Adrian Bowyer of Bath University to build a machine that can replicate itself. The Project now has a very active on-line community aiming to produce the world's most versatile self-replicating 3D printer. For more information go to our links pages for links to the RepRap organisation, forum and even the Wikipedia page for RepRap.

RepRap is an amazing project with the potential to change the world. So why wait? Jump in today and help bringing that change about.

Getting Started

Bits From Bytes can supply all the parts you need to build your own RepRap machine so you can join in the manufacturing revolution, or provide just the difficult-to-source parts such as the moulded sections. We provide a one-stop shop for all the parts,  keeping our prices low by bulk buying. We have ensured that all parts supplied will fit together and work.

Our thanks to…

Firstly a huge thank-you to Dr Adrian Bowyer and eD Sells who have given us an enormous amount of help to get Bits From Bytes up and running. They have provided parts to mould and given freely of their advice and time for which we are most grateful.

Finally our thanks go to all the RepRappers who have supported the project along the way. We won’t name individuals here for fear of forgetting someone! Suffice to say if you browse the forum you will soon know who we mean.
