ROKR - Classic Printing Press

Awesome!!! Forget your 3D printer and make this printing press. Because who would think of that, a miniature printing press made of wood that still works? And that you will assemble yourself in this construction kit for adults. That can only be ROKR, the DIY brand for mechanical building sets made of wood. And what a mechanical building set! Cogs, curls, levers, you don't know where to look with this fun printing press. Little bears that move along with the actions, lights that burn and beautiful decorations such as the astrolabe on the side; it can't be done. You really have a beautiful piece of home decoration!

It's hard to believe that you can make a working printing press out of wood. And yet it is possible. You press out the puzzle pieces of this 3D puzzle from wooden plywood plates that have been pre-treated with a laser, per step in the manual. You mainly click them together without glue using mortise and tenon joints. You carefully bend some wooden parts around. Polish any burrs with sandpaper and grease the gears with wax to keep everything turning smoothly. In addition to wood, you also get LED lighting. Your printing press will be 21 centimeters high and 14 centimeters wide.

How does this printing press work? First you place the letters and decorations in mirror image in the rubber mold. Secondly, you take the paper from the tray and finally you press the lever down and the ink box flips into place. That's all? To print, yes that's all, but what happens! The bears start moving and the lights everywhere light up beautifully when you lower the lever. This is really so fun and creative, you won't get tired of it.
