Working LEGO Printer - Printing the LEGO Logo

The final version of my LEGO mosaic printer. It uses the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 to scan an image and recreate it as a LEGO mosaic using 1x1 LEGO plates. Here I have it scanning and printing the LEGO logo.

It is build entirely out of LEGO parts. For more information on how this project came to be you can watch the 'making of' series of videos I made for it.

Part 1: I introduce the project and explain how I pick up and place the plates. https://youtu.be/DZcMTnmFbo4
Part 2: I talk about the supply system I designed, which uses gravity to feed 1x1 plates to the printer. https://youtu.be/r8OQDy29yJU
Part 3: I talk about the scanning system using the Mindstorms color sensor and the new name for the machine. https://youtu.be/iyQCMP2kqs0
