similar to the cardboard computer and plotter designed by niklas roy in the past, american engineer student known as matstermind on instructables has developed a fully working 3D printer made entirely out of LEGO bricks. entitled the ‘legobot’, the CNC device works on 3 axis, and prints ( for now at least ) with hot glue. based roughly on the first version of the makerbot 3D printer, the prototype runs on four power supplies: a 3V extruder, 7.2v for the NXT, 12V fan, and 115V for the hot glue gun.
