A few years ago, I made a model of Johanes
Gutenberg’s printing press in SketchUp and I wanted to see how it would look in
Blender. The two models are different in that they were based on different
reconstructions of what the apparatus might have looked like. Gutenberg built
his press in Mainz, Germany, around 1450 to use movable type, probably the
first of its kind in the West. While there are no drawings or written records
of its design, but most historians assume that it was an adaptation of an
existing wine press. Famously, Gutenberg used his press and the new type to
print the Gutenberg Latin Bible, of which 48 copies exist today. This model is
based on the one at www.inkansblood.com.
