17 years ago today. The first self-replication by a #RepRap #3Dprinter - the start of the #3Dprinting revolution.
RepRap 3D printer on the left (parent), and the RepRap 3D printer on the right (child) that it printed the parts for. Adrian Bowyer and Vik Olliver of the RepRap Project also in the picture. 14:00 hours UTC on 29 May 2008.

Having a great time printing with @cookiecad.com PLA (which you can now get easily in the UK from @adam-v3d.bsky.social). I’ve had real difficulty with some silk and shiny filaments previously but this prints like a dream.
A spool of Cookiecad Fairy Floss PLA filament. It is a mixture of purple, pink, and blue with specks of glitter.
