Saw this on Hack-a-day yesterday. More of a plotter than a printer, but yes its very cool.

I have an old school pen plotter around here somewhere, wonder if that thing still works :-k Cant say I miss the noise of it slamming around though, I hate the sound of my laser printer warming up anymore.

Whoa who would have ever thought. Bet those ink cartridges cost way less than the major brands.

My lego collection might be large enough to put something together like this. I have a big collection since 5 years old.
