What you can do with Lego

[TheDivineBoss]

Now close this thread, since you're all unworthy in the face of the Lego printer (and Krijn).

And no Ralle, you can't have a server made out of Lego.

Thats cool, but i still think 8 bit trip is one of the greatest lego videos on youtube but still, the way he made that print is pretty BA hehe

Just thought to let you guys know. Also that is pretty epic, but what happens when it runs out of ink?

 

[WherewolfTherewolf]

Switch out the marker

 

[supertoinkz]

Awesomesauce. But...marker? ftw

 

[shamanyouranus]

That is way too awesome. Imagine turning in your essays printed out like that.

 

[N1ghthawk]

epic

 

[Kwah]

For certain values of lego. I spy some blatantly non-standard components.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

You can't make it out of pure lego
Was still epic though.

 

[Piwlady]

Freaking awesome!

When you can't say bye to your childhood's favourite toys, just replace your printer with the one made from them? That's really inventive.

Pretty cool, but I thought it was going to be a printer that prints with actual LEGOs... that would be better than the whole internet.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Could probably go almost as fast as a real printer if it wasn't made of LEGO.

 

[dead-man-walking]

Awesome shit.

No server? Maybe just the case?

 

[Zombie]

Meh, it's mainly programming-related if you lead the description. Still pretty impressive. (y)

The guy should build a lego terminator and send it back in time.

The guy should build a lego terminator and send it back in time.

So as I understand time machine should be lego too...

 

[Deolrin]

Haha! This is awesome. xD

Old...
I remember lego printers being advertised in the one mindstorms book back in the year 2004. Infact this looks mostly identical to that design.

However id does seem he did not use the mindstoms to interface with it which is impressive. Basically it seems he wired the whole damn this himself by designing all the components. The only impressive part was that huge pile of electronics which powered the printer so it worked like a normal printer via USB or what not.

You should see the lego rubic cube solver.
