Back in July of 2021, I had the pleasure of building the beautiful Lego Ideas Typewriter 21327 . It’s a stunning model typewriter, approximately half scale, that has occupied a feature space on my office desk ever since I completed it.
The action of the typewriter is truly satisfying, and even though all of the keys cause the same hammer to actuate, the way that the carriage moves from right to left as you type really sells the effect.
The first part of the build was repetitive, as there are two very similar mechanisms that make up each of the actuating keys. It took awhile to make these, and it was difficult at this stage to understand how these pieces fit into the finished project, but I got through the grind with the help of a podcast.
