Students from the Franz-Haniel-Gymnasium have extended the printer from the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 Inventor’s Guide to print images – pixel by pixel. In fact, they turned it into an actual printer. The original model is merely a ‘plotter’. You can find more information here [LINK]. Below is a video of the printer in action.
And recently, blog reader BManCan came up with a creative program for the printer. The original program plots the NXT 2.0 logo, but BManCan made a program to draw the all new EV3 logo. Check out the video below or print out the new EV3 logo with this program [LINK].
Will a program be made available in NXT-G?
Ask them, perhaps
Hi everyone – and thanks, Valk, for mentioning the students’ work at such a prominent place!
I have added 2 zip-Files with NXT-G-Code and picture/data samples to print Freidrich Schiller and Franz Haniel. You will find them in the blog-entry about this printer – or here:
