With all due respect, Captain, I am the head of Starfleet IT, and I have it on good authority that if you try to replicate a replicator, you can break the space time continuum. (pixelfed.social)

I would imagine that they could fabricate most of the parts for other industrial replicators, but there are probably some components that can’t be replicated. We know that dilithium and latinum can’t be replicated, so there are probably other exotic materials too.

Sort of like how you can use a 3D printer to print a new 3D printer, but there are some parts you cannot print like that. Like if its a PLA printer you probably still do need some metal parts for their characteristics, sturdyness or whatever.

So maybe a replicated replicator would work, but probably be very unreliable or stops working quickly.
