I'm very tempted to buy one, but I need to know how reliable they are, and how difficult they are to put together. Does anyone have any experience with them?

Here is an introductory presentation if you're unfamiliar with RepRaps.

I've added a video to my original post, which should introduce you to the idea.

Wouldn't screws be more appropriate?

Surely only a poorly built machine would need a lot of glue for assembly
