What Makes It Uncommon

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.

  • Comes with step-by-step instructions and 305 precut wooden pieces (five-hour assembly time).
  • Incorporates moveable-type printing process on a customizable self-ink letterpress plate.
  • Prints letters, kaomojis, and emoticons on the included 3.5”W x 2.1”H cards, all conveniently stored within the machine.
  • Pressing the 45° handle down causes the device’s multiple wooden gears to move throughout their “printing workshop.”
  • Flashing LEDs signal when the plate makes contact with the card, indicating the process is complete.
  • The product requires two AAA batteries, not included in the kit.
  • Made in China.
