3D Puzzle Popcorn Machines

Dimexart Creates an Intricate Popcorn Machine from LEGO Blocks

— September 19, 2023 — Art & Design
LEGO builder Dimexartunveils the latest work in the form of the movie theater popcorn machine, which is shown with a rotating kettle resting inside of a glass chamber. The LEGO form of the nostalgic machine is made from 955 pieces in total and the popcorn is also made from LEGO block as well.

It is seen individually rolling out of the machine's kettle and sliding down a ramp into an adorable popcorn bucket. To load up the machine, there is a door at the back and an M-motor that is built to power the rack and pinion mechanism. This way, the LEGO kernels are able to pop out and slide into the bucket for a dynamic experience.
