Fully-Functional LEGO Typewriter is More Than Meets the Eye
SMRTR summary
A LEGO enthusiast named Koenkun Bricks spent three months creating a fully functional typewriter that produces real text, going beyond the official LEGO set that only simulates typing. The design uses gravity-fed magazines above each key that release letter tiles when pressed, which slide down guided slopes and get pressed onto a white "paper" plate by a rotating frame mechanism powered by rubber bands. The carriage automatically moves after each keystroke for proper spacing, though users must manually advance to new lines and reload the letter magazines.
