I've been on a bit of a journey. I love the idea of the Mega Brick models and I wanted to build my own. I don't have a huge amount of CAD knowledge but I've been working in IT for 3 decades and I know the power of resusability (or best practice as we euphemistically describe it). All over the world, in every town and city, amateur and professional, child and adult there are people playing in and supporting teams and shouldn't it be easy for everyone to have a mega brick model of themseves or their favourite player? So thats what I've done. And I'm building a new Mega Brick Ecosystem along the way. The basis is the Mega Brick Generic Player. With an easy methodology, leveraging existing technologies (MakerLab: Image To Keychain) I can put any team up in a couple of hours (with admittedly a 4 colour limit, some of you aren't that limited). I've published a few strips already. I've done a few hair styles and I've created a way of doing different faces with minimal bleed and waste. The immediate future is shirt backs, I can do them locally easily enough but I'd like to share my openscad utility. Then other sports and accessories. What do you think? I'd love feedback or suggestions or just to see your local teams.(Edited)

Lovely, support came of easily by hand. Looks amazing. Not a lot of bounce to it but handles well according to my footy mad kids.

Had a lot of issues getting the knob on the end, eventually resized that one part to 103% and it worked perfectly.

Used some complimentary screw covers to complete the look. Excellent, now my kids don't have any excuse to leave their school bags on the floor.

Made to encourage my kids to not leave their shoes all over the place. Printed perfectly, works perfectly. Kids not keen. 😉

Printed beautifully in silk grey. Looks like silver, even feels a bit heavier as a result

Did 2 lots of 4 Sunlu pla was fine, quite bouncy and easy to use. Sunlu pla+ was quite stiff. My kids are up in the Dales with 4 each of these. I'll see how they get on.

Came out fine. Not quite to my taste.
