The specifications for lego bricks are out there. It's based on a 8mm 1x1 brick size, 1.6mm walls, 4.8mm studs.
All I did was add "flex" points to account for differences in 3D printers.

They are compatible with regular legos. The standard is very simple.

GIB - Generic Interlocking Brick toy set Megablock and Lepin compatible by cymon Let's call this what it is. It's a reaction to a certain corporation getting too big for it's britches. They told us we shouldn't make 3D prints of their blocks and, you know what, they're right. 3D p...

A pretty decent unicorn sculpted in Blender for 3D printing.

A pretty decent unicorn sculpted in Blender for 3D printing.

With Chess sets being such a popular option for my next mode-a-thon, I decided to test myself and see if I can really do this.
I'll be honest, I kind of impressed myself with this one.

The next 3DPProfessor 3d model-a-thon is in the planning stages. But this time instead of picking the subject myself, I want to know what you want to see be my next big modeling project.

Where abouts are you located.

That particular machine is probably functioning fine, but not worth the shipping. However, if you can find someone local who otherwise wouldn't be able to have one, it could be a good starter.

Prints like PLA with a matte finish. Don't know if I can say if it's stronger or not, but it works.

First print on the flashforge A5X. A little rough due to snags in the filament, but otherwise not bad.

I just read the most amazing comment thread on @ivanmiranda010.bsky.social's latest video. I'm convinced this is a thread of bots talking to bots, hiding contact info across multiple comments to avoid detection. None of these people are real. But the hustle is.

Wish me luck. Overnight printing 300 printABlok connectors. If they start cascade falling, I won't be around to see it. Place your bets if you think I'll make it or not or how many will be left.
