I had never heard of  Lionel Penrose before, but his work was intersting.  I bet he would have loved RepRap, shame he isn't around any more.  Read up on him over at his wiki page.

Wouldn't this be a wonderful tool to teach the concept of replication without intelligence in schools?

Anyway back to printing, thanks for indulging me.
