About this model

This is my attempt to recreate the Gutenberg printing press for my kid's school project. You can see the result of printing on the last picture: it means "Book" in Russian. All the necessary parts are included in the project and you won't need any additional materials or tools. I've included a diagram for your convenience. If you want to make your own stamp, you'll need to draw a square with sides of 29mm and a height of 5mm. The height of the imprint should be 1mm. Remember that the writing and drawings need to be flipped horizontally to transfer correctly to the paper. It looks like I screwed up (haha) with one of the four holes for attaching the small screws, but it's easily fixed with hot glue, although it will work without one screw.
