RepRap: Blog

The artist Lauren van Niekerk spend a while in the Bath RepRap Lab recently. One of the things she did was this pen-and-ink drawing of Mendel, which she has given to the project. A 400 dpi scan of it is in the repository here.

Feel free to download it, print it on art paper in your A3 printer, frame it, and hang it on your wall...

I'm very happy to announce the opening of an exhibition of RepRapped artworks collated by Bronwyn Holloway-Smith, Rhys Dippie and myself. The exhibition is at Massey University in Wellington, New Zealand. Most of the 10 exhibits are resurrections of lost items from the Te Papa collection. It was great fun setting this one up and my particular thanks go to Bronwyn for setting everything in place.

The sperm whale's tooth in particular has a curious aesthetic charm, and the tapa beater is the largest thing I've ever seen RepRap'd.
