At long last I have code to drive a RepRap using an OLPC. It's just a couple of command line utilities written in C that can generate gcode and dump it to the serial port. The next release of the RepRap hardware should be capable of running off a car battery for 16 hrs - should be in beta in a couple of months. Currently it costs 5x what an OLPC does, but we'll try and improve on that. It looks like we're rapidly converging on a 3D printer that will be usable in developing countries. Vik :v)
