A brilliant DIY enthusiast has taken the Lego universe by storm, crafting a functional typewriter that outshines its iconic counterpart released last year. In a testament to human ingenuity, Koenkun Bricks' masterpiece not only boasts an impressive design but also produces actual text on paper.
This remarkable creation features 1x1 round Lego tiles, each bearing the letters of the alphabet, which are arranged in a scrolling sheet of white Lego plates. The device's innovative mechanism involves three interconnected systems: one to release a letter tile, another to move the carriage into place, and a third to press the tile onto the "paper."
The first step pushes a lever, sliding a single tile from its storage bin, which then travels down a ramp to come to rest on a flat shelf directly in front of the paper. With each key press, this process repeats, allowing another letter tile to slide into place.
But what truly sets Koenkun Bricks' typewriter apart is its clever carriage movement mechanism. By using a rubber band and a series of loose 1x1 headlight blocks, the device can accurately move along a narrow track, simulating the motion of an actual typewriter.
While there are some minor drawbacks to this incredible creation – like the need for manual reloading of spacing blocks and scrolling of paper – they pale in comparison to its remarkable functionality. And let's be honest, who needs reliability when you have a piece of Lego that truly types?
Koenkun Bricks' dedication is evident as he uses his device to create a heartfelt message to the Lego design team. His words echo the sentiments of many fans worldwide: "Long may it prosper." Indeed, this incredible creation – and the community of passionate builders behind it – will continue to inspire endless creativity and innovation in the world of Lego.
