From the groundbreaking book LEO the Maker Prince:http://www.leothemakerprince.comhttp://www.amazon.com/LEO-Maker-Prince-Journeys-Printing/dp/1457183145 Brendan, an ingenious inventor, teamed up with Mark-5, a skilled robot friend of LEO's, to create the revolutionary NewsDog prototype. Instructions The newsdog_BOTTOM file serves as the base, featuring an internal shelf that securely holds a thermal printer unit. It must be printed in crisp white. The newsdog_TOP file forms the main body, snapping snugly onto the base. It should also be printed in gleaming white. The newsdog_ears_nose_tail file includes components that easily snap into place to form the figure's distinctive ears, nose, and tail. Best results are achieved when printed in a bold color that contrasts with the base and main body, such as vibrant black. Inside the NewsDog, a thermal ink printer awaits discovery. This innovative device can be sourced from the Adafruit catalog. A kit that includes the printer, its power cord, and a roll of receipt paper is available here: http://www.adafruit.com/products/600 To connect the NewsDog to the Internet, consult this comprehensive tutorial: http://learn.adafruit.com/internet-of-things-printer/introduction
