3D printed Lego bricks?


3D printed Lego bricks?

Does anybody have any experience with 3D printing their own Lego bricks? How does it work and what software is needed? Can regular LDraw DAT files be used?

I don't have experience by myself, but I know some guys how regularly do print their (custom) parts. Mainly technic pieces that some people wish for, but so far Lego hasn't produced like a 4L Pin.

Search Shapeways for "efferman".

He's mainly active on a german website, doctor-brick.de, but he's also active on Eurobricks, see his thread for his custom parts:

He's producing his own STL files as far as I know.

I think printing with a consumer printer is not really an option...

...and size tolerances in LDraw files are not so good...
