Geek Builds Printer from LEGOs


A b3ta user who goes by the handle "squirrelfantasy" has no small amount of know-how when it comes to LEGOs and the inner workings of printers. Having just written that sentence, we won't regret dubbing this gent an über-nerd, because he applied those twin fonts of knowledge when he built an inkjet-type printer out of LEGOs and felt-tip markers.

It's not exactly fast, but -- unless you're applying for an engineering position -- we wouldn't want you to run your resume through this contraption anyway. "squirrelfantasy" uses his creation to print up the classic web design trope "Hello World" and a picture of a pony. The edges are a little rough, but what do you expect from felt-tips? There's really nothing else to say. You'll have to check out the video after the break to see what we mean. [From: Boing Boing, via: DVICE]
