prostheticknowledge: Hacked-Together Pointillist Dot Matrix Printer (via Popular Mechanics) Creative engineerers make simple printer with Sharpie pen and some Processing code: When a Minnesota outfit of all-star DIY-ers called 1.21 Jigawatts won this summer’s Red Bull Creation Contest, we couldn’t wait to have them create a project just for PM readers. Here, a couple of team members working as Mixed Media Engineering outline how they built a DIY processor/printer that can transform a regular JPEG image into a pointillist work of art, and print it by making dots with a Sharpie. If you’d like to try this project yourself, you can download the software that they wrote. More Here

    Amazing what one determined nerd can do with four quarter inch shafts, two stepper motors, and a sharpie.
