It can *not* print itself!!!

Specifically, what about all the metal tubes & the wires?

RepRap - Open Source Machine 'Prints' 3-D Objects, Including Copies Of Itself

RepRap is short for replicating rapid-prototyper. RepRap employs a technique called ‘additive fabrication’. The machine works a bit like a printer, but rather than squirting ink onto paper, it puts down thin layers of molten plastic which solidify. These layers are built up to make useful three-dimensional (3D) objects.
