Printer Made Out Of Lego

    Hackaday is awesome. It gets updated every day with new hacks. The hacks are mostly hardware but there's some software hacks too. I spotted this one today and it blew my mind.
    A printer made out of lego. You'd think it's impossible but here it is! There's even little lego men on it! For those of you not going to follow the link it's a guy on his Mac with a page that has "Hello World" in a big heading and then an image of a horse underneath. He then selects the lego printer and the page starts to print. He then zooms in on the printer which consists of a moving felt-tip pen marking the page. As the page moves through, the pen finishes the writing and moves onto marking out the horse. It produces a readable copy of the page! Even the horse is recognisable!
    Anyways, here's the link for anyone interested. You can find the hackaday link in my sidebar. One of my favourite site to waste a half hour!
    That's about all!
