Parallelepiped Lego #3Dprinting #3DThursday

Parallelepiped Lego by DaveMakesStuff Thingiverse

DaveMakesStuff shared this project on Thingiverse!

Just because a polyhedron can tile 3D space, doesn’t mean you should try to turn it into a Lego piece. This is a technical print and the final pieces are ridiculous to build with. Printing this is bound to be a frustrating waste of your time. Don’t say I didn’t warn you 🙂

If you have some time and energy to waste, print two of the “Parallelepiped (half)” and one of the “Connector” files for each piece. The connector piece fits between the two halves to ensure that the faces line up. Print without a brim if possible to minimize extra material getting in the way. As with any construction objects, print as high quality as possible and expect to do a bit of post-print finishing for a perfect fit.

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!
