Looking to get your letter (way) out there, but don’t precisely have the means to rig up, say, a van-sized StreetWriter? Fret not, as a intelligent DIY’er has managed to craft a smallish printer that can blast largish text onto nearly any surface. By utilizing an iRobot Create, an old dot-matrix printer, an eBox 2300 x86 PC, a counterweight and a good bit of Talcum powder, you too can be expressing yourself

on football fields, sidewalks or street corners in no date. Best of all, you can control the thing from your high-rise thanks to the built-in wireless capabilities, but you may want to strap some weaponry on it whether you really plan on sending your own PrintBot out on a solo mission.
