Ha ha, that is indeed genius!

Thanks for pointing that out, Paul – it’s now been changed!

At least the replacement ink is cheap.

@JohnAHind – First a Printer and then this – who knew Lego could be so versatile? Also like the Lego workmen placed on the Lego printer – nice little touch

typical mac fanboy.

Outstanding. Good for you. Clever, funny, and ingenious.

While cool, I was also disappointed. I thought it was a printer that build stuff out of legos. That would have been wicked awesome instead of just cool.

Needs optimisation.

No way does this really require 6 guys — including two on friggin’ horseback!

Well done.

’scuze me, gotta go buy more legos to make this thing. 10 to 3 LEGO is going to get wind of this and make it a kit!

Doh, it`s one color and even no shades…

Very nice. But not the first: something like it was in the 80s Lego Technic Idea Book #8888, except it used Lego punchcards to guide the (multi color) pens. Another book in the day featured a Lego turtle pen attached to an Apple ][. But bravo for doing the raster printer!

Very cool even if it has been done before. I’d really like to know what the cost of a printing like device like this would be and the cost for “ink”. IE a pencil/pen were used in place of traditional inkjet ink or laser toner. Obviously it would only be very sketchy crummy quality. I’d think you could probably get a decent enough quality with sufficient refinement though still for printing stuff off the internet and wordd processing. Even if you wouldn’t be printing pictures. As it is now the quality probably only allows for very big lined text.

As a former employee of LEGO, just want to point out that LEGO is always spelt out in caps and will never have an “s” at the end. LEGO is a brand name much like Kleenex.

That is really awesome. He should write up an instruction manual and publish or sell it, maybe talk to lego about selling it as a lego kit – together with some electronics hobbyist kit company (such as dick smith australia) for the electronics part of it!

Again, really awesome, and the quality of the print isn’t too bad either! Next how about the 3-pen colour model!

I bet you an ink jet cartridge that the ink replacement cost is cheaper than any other non-laser printer.

Lets hope Mac doesn’t see this, or LEGO is gonna have to be called “iLEGO”, cost x10 more and only be available in white!
Or is this a sneak preview of the new printer for the ipad? Mac buyers would flock to it…….

JayBoom: Agreed about the lack of “s”, but the ALL CAPS is just stupid, seeing as “Lego” is not an initialism. Companies that insist on ALL CAPS irritate me – Chanel does it (”CHANEL”) and that’s annoying too. Nearly everyone here (the UK) writes “Lego bricks” (”Legos” seems to be mostly an Americanism) and that looks much better than “LEGO”.
