According to BasBasBas.com, a Dutch blogger based in Istanbul, who alerted readers about the issue: 'It is suspected that the reason for this has something to do with Adnan Oktar, by some considered the leading Muslim advocate for creationism, who has in the past managed to get Wordpress, Google Groups, as well as Richard Dawkins' website [banned].'"

As somebody seems to have posted a link to my blog I have knocked up a Google site to show the things I have made so far with my homebrew 3D printer based on RepRap: http://sites.google.com/site/nophead/Home/hydraraptor/ThingsMade The quality is not quite as good as commercial printers but we have come a long way in the 18 months I have known about the project. I can certainly make useful functional parts, including a complete second machine, a RepRap Darwin. The cost is only about $20 per kg and most parts can be made about 1/3 density, so that would be less than $0.01 per cc.
