For those not following the reprap blog, the reprap has printed it's first electronics. One of Adrian bowyers undergrad research students has printed a reprap opto-endswitch using a combination of both plastic and standard store bought solder(as opposed to expensive low temperature solders previously thought required). The final result were able to have the remaining components stuck into it easily with a standard solder heater (and no new solder needed to be added).

The part was pretty quickly put into the machine that made it, meaning that electronics circuit boards are now officially in the list of parts that can be self-reproduced and/or self-healed depending on how you see it.
