I’ll find one and update the script if necessary.Īctually manufacturing these is up to you - you could print them yourself (somehow) or order them from Shapeways or another print-on-demand service. I think the real LEGO angle plates have the overhang as thick as a baseplate, but I didn’t have one handy to measure. Also, both sections of the plate are the standard 1/3 brick height. This script doesn’t do plates with negative angles (the overhang jutting up from the base with the studs on the “bottom” of it), but it’s not hard to imagine that it could be modified to do so. Here’s the underside of one with an angle of 100º, a 2×3 base, and a 4×1 overhang:ĭepending on the size of the overhang, you’re limited to about 112º before it starts to get chopped off. Here’s one with an angle of 45º and different size sides: This is the default output: a 90º plate with both sides 2×2.īut you could make the angle anything. Sure, I wrote up an OpenSCAD script to generate angle plates: I haven’t gone crazy with customizations, mainly because what I print is dictated by what my son asks for, and he’s only been requesting wings, wings, and more wings so he can build spaceships. This assortment of bricks contains examples of all of the available customizations:īut this is still just a tiny fraction of the possible permutations. To this extensively customized brick that you’ll never be able to buy from LEGO: You can generate anything from this vanilla 2×4: These characteristics can combine to create millions of unique bricks.
#Dimensions of a lego brick 2x2 generator
To solve this problem, I’ve written a LEGO -compatible brick generator that is more feature-rich than any other. 1 I knew that bricks were a popular “look what I can print” demo, but after I tried out a few of the popular printable LEGO -compatible models, I found that none of them were designed accurately enough to reliably interlock with genuine LEGO bricks, and none of the libraries included support for any shapes besides the basic rectangular brick. Given that I have a 3D printer and a five-year-old son, it was inevitable that I would eventually print some LEGO-compatible bricks.
