Well that's certainly cheaper than buying overpriced ink cartridges.

I'm thinking it wouldn't be all that hard to program multiple colours either, you'd just have to have some sort of a rotating barrel system to bring the right colour to the paper contact point. Might have to use a different kind of ink to minimize bleeding though.

Well beyond both my lego and computer skills.

I love that he's got little lego people sitting on it.

The little lego dudes going along for the ride is my favourite part of the whole thing.

I wonder how long it took him to do that.
