Printing Press DIY Building Kit

When Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in the mid–15th century, it completely changed how books were made and shared, making them more accessible to everyone. This game-changing invention helped set the stage for our modern world and a knowledge-based society. Now you can build your own working printing press at home with this DIY kit, complete with moving gears, illuminated fixtures, and a flipping ink-pad stamp—no glue required.
