Alex Reibman says he scrapped a 3D-print plan for custom shelves and chassis after an expensive estimate and is buying 1,000 Lego pieces instead. He’s asking for volunteers to help assemble them next week with free snacks and coworking; commenters called it a “fire hazard” and joked about a Mac Mini shortage.

"Alex this is a fire hazard"
I was going to 3d print some custom shelves and chassis but the estimate was too expensive. So I'm buying 1,000 Legos instead
Who wants to help me assemble next week? Free snacks + coworking
