Brian brought the LEGO press he made to Quelab to make a few LEGO prints:
The LEGO press
has moving parts
The LEGO press
fit in the palms of Brian's hands
Making LEGO prints
The LEGO set-up
Multi-colored LEGO prints
from passes with two different colors
Making the image
with smaller LEGO dot bits
We printed this abstract image
The PROCESS
Brian brought these water-based inks
to print with
Rolling ink on glass
with an anti-skid mesh below
Inking the LEGO plate
Inserting the plate
(when the press was upside down)
Then Brian turned the press over, the right way, and inserted the paper:
Inserting the cardstock paper strip
While the levers pressed down,
and extra push helped make better prints
The first print and press
The ink would dry
making prints of various densities
We also printed with other colors
5x5 inch fake gray LEGO plate
from Dollar Tree
The regular LEGO bits
snapped onto the fake LEGO plate
- Roy Scholten is making interesting relief prints with the LEGO press
- Maybe we can 3D print our own LEGO compatible bits, say in custom shapes
