This printer was built by Leon Overweel over at World of MindStorms; same guy who built the Skype-controlled NXT car that we've previously featured.
This NXT-controlled printer, dubbed the PriNXT, is controlled by 3 motors - ya know, X-, Y-, and Z-axis. Leon included a whole technical rundown and a link to the source code on his site, but basically he exports a black-and-white picture as a binary file to feed into his pre-made array in RobotC.
Anyway, I just thought this was neat and I'd try to replicate it if I could, but I don't have any MindStorms. Because they're expensive. And I am a poor man. In a basement. With a dog.
