    • Arthur Sacek developed a milling machine made using only Lego parts and a drill. The video shows the machine sculpting a 3D face from a block of floral foam.

    Thanks for the tip aabbee 150!

      :O That’s pretty impressive. The reveal was nice. Can’t wait to see the how-its-done video!

      That’s really cool and beautifully designed, but I’m annoyed that the video title refers to it as a “3D Printer”. Unless there’s another configuration where it actually functions as a 3D printer, it’s just a 3 axis mill. It’s impressive enough for what it is so why bother pitching it as something else?

      That is really cool. I also look forward to the “how it’s done” video.

      I wasn’t impressed even before he blew the shavings off, then I was dumbfounded. I would never have guessed that lego was capable of that kind of precision work
