YouTuber horseattack has managed to construct a printer made of Legos. He describes his work: “Lego felt tip 110″ printer connected to an Apple Mac. This is not a kit you can buy and does not use mindstorms. I designed/built/coded it all from scratch including analog motor electronics, sensors and printer driver, the USB interface uses a “wiring” board.” Now watch the magic unfold in the video above.

Dirk VH (I guess that’s what he goes by) is a part-time Lego sculpter who has created the biggest structure of Nintendo’s mascot. His 40,000 piece Lego Mario stands at six feet tall and weighs 110 pounds. It took over 16 days to build.
What is super cool about this is that Mr. VH is auctioning this masterpiece on eBay and all of the money will go to the Ronald McDonald foundation in Netherlands. It is up for auction right now for 2.650,00, or roughly $3,700. Happy bidding.
