Modern 3D printers come in all shapes, sizes, and price points, but I bet you haven't seen one quite like this before. Reddit ...

An enthusiast has created a 3D printer out of Lego bricks that actually works and even printed a Benchy when testing.

Tech 3D printer made almost entirely out of Lego An engineering student lacking the funds for a Makerbot created one himself with what he happened to have available: a box of Lego.

This is then "printed" by the latest of Creative Mindstorm's attempts to create LEGO-based printing machines, charmingly named "Pixelbot 3000".

Lego has already been experimenting with 3D printing as a complementary manufacturing approach for parts with smaller production runs and cheaper up-front costs.
