    Dude basically re-invents the Mindstorms concept while using Mindstorms computer modules. (Mindstorms was the commercialization of an MIT project to make prototyping robots simpler by making LEGO-compatible cases for small microcontroller systems and making LEGO-like sensors and motors.) It's just amazing what a skilled person can do with a mid-range 3D printer and off-the-shelf hobby electronics from Aliexpress. Nothing you did was even vaguely cheap or easy, but none of it was really impossible for someone with your skills to accomplish. That's amazing.

    You really impressed me because you recreated the ASCII signals using i/o boards, and you made yourself a Lego Laptop only using common circuts and regular components.
    This reminds me how old laptops used to look like, due of the lack of compact components, and you had to do it all by yourself, only using regular components, and tried methods that was infact useful for your DIY laptop.
    Would be useful if you shared a Step by Step how to work on this laptop, because i likely want to work with something simillar and using broader advanced interface, like installing Raspberry PI.

    Very cool build, btw, for the Keys consider trying Waterslide Decal paper.
    Its a translucent sheet of paper that you can print on then wet it and move it to a key and when it tries it will keep the decal on it.
    its used often by model builders to add insigniac, flags, text and other small details to their models. And works great for custom Keycaps!

    yo. little tip for your A1 3D printer: dont get the printed thing off your printing plate by hand. The filament will disconnect without you pulling it off. Good video!
