Check out this fun project shared by MechEngineerMike on Thingiverse.
This is the precursor to my new set of open source LEGO-compatible science education toys coming soon! If that interests you, subscribe to my blog at http://engineerdog.com/ to hear more as it comes out!

I was curious how well flexible Lego’s could be made at home. To my surprise it worked very well!

This design is parametric, click ‘open in customizer’ to make your own sizes.

The model allows you to make ‘brick tape’ which has the top side of LEGO studs, OR ’tile tape’ which is the underside of LEGOs. (This is an either/or decision because flexible filament doesn’t like printing with supports.)

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
