Building Blocks

The problem in 3-D printing is that many of the machines are expensive, with the costs for some of the best and most elaborate devices prohibitive to the average user.

Not any more.

A guy built a working -- albeit crude -- 3-D printer using mostly Legos and some other components. It requires some refinements in order to match outputs with the high-end machine, but the builder says he's already figuring out improvements.

And when the day comes that the 3-D printer that's made out of Legos turns around and actually prints out Legos?

I for one welcome our new, brightly primary-colored masters.
