I think some people here might be interested in this. the reprap project.
http://reprap.org
http://reprap.blogspot.com
It is a project with the intent of creating a free design for a 3d printer out of mainly 3d printed parts, so in some sense, it can self replicate (but not self-assemble) with only raw materials and some basic (cheap) wholesale electronic components.
The project is very ambitious, but a lot of progress has been made, once the initial design is out there, hopefully people will create improved versions and the design will evolve.
