I’ve always kind of sucked at Legos. From the time I was a little kid, all I’ve ever really been able to successfully do with them was misplace the vital pieces and then also I’d stick ‘em up my butt. Luckily for all of us, YouTube user horseattack is nothing like me and somehow devised a way to build an actual functioning printer out of them. Using a felt-tipped marker and custom coded software, the LEGO printer can actually be accessed via computer and printed to from a desktop. Trusty genius, horseattack, remains tight-lipped regarding any info on building the device, but we’re assured that everything was assembled from scratch.

I think everyone’s amazement is best summed up by one of the commenters on horseattack’s YouTube page:

Whats next, a iPad made out of chocolate cake ?

Well spoken, euzeermide. A chocolate cake iPad is definitely the next evolutionary step after the LEGO printer. Check the video after the jump to decide for yourself:

Thanks to engadget for the tip.
