A Lego fan with a deficit of office equipment has created a fully functioning printer, complete with little plastic workers. The printer, which is able to print at 75 dots per inch and 1 page per minute, is a feat worthy of installation at the plastic cube company’s Legoland complex.

While it probably can’t compete with commercial models in terms of speed and quality, the Lego printer scores points for making such a boring piece of office equipment so entertaining to watch. Next we’d like to see a scanner made from paperclips and beer.
