Marvel at Koenkun Bricks' Lego typewriter. Unlike Lego's own typewriter from 2021, it actually types! Without using custom pieces!
"Before I started, I had a massive issue to resolve," he says. "A typewriter works with typebars … so going with ink will be impossible. So I will have to reinvent the typewriter. This is going to be interesting."
Yes: it pushes lego letter dots (hard to find as they are) onto white lego base sheets. There's something extremely satisfying about it existing entirely within the universe of standard lego ("legal" lego being another matter).
Lego once released a typewriter set but it only mimicked the functions of a typewriter, since then I have always wondered if you could build a working typewriter only using LEGO bricks so today I'm trying to do just that.
I'm looking forward to filing a federal lawsuit with one of these.
