I have no love for printers. I learned that phrase from a senile old bat who used to tell me that she had no love for blacks, but that’s another story for another time. ;-)
Some time back I tried to install a Lexmark printer but Windows XP told me it couldn’t do that because the printer would compromise my system. Thus began my hate/hate relationship with printers and the bloody cartridges that costs as much as the device itself.
I never thought that the word “awesome” could have been said about a printer, but this is certainly something very special. YouTuber horseattack has built (from scratch) a working Lego printer complete with little Lego workers to operate it. Sure it may take an inordinate time to print anything but at least you won’t pay an arm and a leg for the cartridges. Check out the “Lego felt tip 110” printer as it prints “Hello World” and draws a cute picture of a horse.

THAT IS JUST AWESOME!
WOW! now i got to have one of those!
is there any chance of getting instructions on how to make that???
i can just picture that on my work desk…
That dude has way too much time on his hands. I haven’t spotted a tutorial on how to do that one specifically (I’m sure it’s pretty complex) but Instructables has a guide on how to make a polar 3D printer.
That is incredible! Who ever thought that lego could be so practical. Certainly the best ‘toys’ ever created! Cool Lego beat too :)
