3D Printing's RepRap founder, Adrian Bowyer, at the East Coast RepRap festival

Dr. Adrian Boywer. You may not know him by name, but if you use a home 3D printer, you owe Dr Bowyer for making that possible. Thanks to an offhand tweet, Dr. Bowyer was able to attend ERRF2019, and thanks to Chibimals backers, I got to sit down with him and talk about how his little self-replicating robot project has influenced so many people.

Here's the promised information about the better format for 3D models: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_(file_format)

And Dr. Bowyer's utility for converting STLs to PLY: https://github.com/RepRapLtd/Eclipse/blob/master/workspace/polyhedra/src/com/reprapltd/polyhedra/Triangulation.java
