How to Customize Your Bricks
Step 1: General Settings
- Block Width: Set the width of the block in studs.
- Block Length: Set the length of the block in studs.
- Block Height Ratio: Choose the height ratio (e.g., standard brick height, plate height, etc.).
- Block Type: Select from Brick, Tile, Wing, Slope, Curve, Baseplate, or Round.
- Block Brand: Choose the size and compatibility.
Step 2: Shape-Specific Settings
- Customize additional settings specific to the block type you selected (e.g., wing type, slope height, curve type, baseplate, round radius, etc.).
Step 3: Advanced Settings
- Stud Type: Select between solid or hollow studs.
- Block Bottom Type: Choose between open or closed bottom blocks.
- Wall Splines: Include wall splines for better stability (valid for open bottom blocks).
- Technic Holes: Add horizontal or vertical holes for Technic compatibility.
- SNOT (Studs Not On Top): Option to place studs on the top and bottom or no studs on either side.
- Dual-Sided and Dual-Bottom Options: Customize stud configurations for dual-sided or dual-bottom bricks.
Step 4: Printer-Specific Settings
- Use Reinforcement: Include extra reinforcement for easier printing on FDM printers. This is set to ‘yes’ by default.
- Stud Rescale: Adjust the stud diameter for your specific printer settings.
- Stud Top Roundness: Specify the roundness of the stud tops.
Tips
- Customization: Experiment with different stud shapes and internal structures for unique designs.
- Compatibility: Ensure for accurate sizing by printing
- Personalization: Use custom colors options to create personalized bricks for special projects. Use the color painting features in Bambu Studio to make you bricks even more unique.

0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 40% infill
Works well. Scaled up 400%, 15% infill, .6mm nozzle and .3 layer height. Except on the slope pieces, reduce layer to .15mm. Also used 1.04 stud rescale on 400% bricks for a tight fit. Wish it did specialty bricks like the axle base, but really helped bang out the bulk bricks. Thanks!

That looks amazing. It would be awesome to get more specialty pieces. I was also thinking through creating some kits as well.
Great info!

double boosted as this is just perfect for making bricks my wee boy wants when he’s busy building and can’t find just the right bit.

Hi,
Can you add something like $fn=100; to get a smoother curves.

Does not fit with original duplo. Not tight enough. The idea is amazing, please refine it.

Hello, that is great feedback. can you let me know if it’s too loose on the bottom or the top, or both? There is a setting to adjust the stud size for a better fit based on your printer and filament. perhaps a 2x2 sample bricks to get it right.

I printed 2x4. The boot side is tight. How Can I find this parameter?

Based on this feedback, I will need to make a future enhancement to this code where one can adjust the wall spline depth more easily. For now, if you wanted to experiment, when you open the code, you can search for `real_included_wall_splines` and then do something like add a little bit of extra length to the spline. This is untest, but just an example of some of the changes that you could look into making.
```
// Interior splines to catch the studs.
if (real_include_wall_splines) {
translate([stud_spacing / 2 - wall_play - (spline_thickness/2), 0, 0])
for (xcount = [0:real_length-1]) {
translate([0,wall_thickness,0])
translate([xcount * stud_spacing, 0, 0])
cube([spline_thickness, spline_length + 0.5, real_height * block_height]); // Changed value here
translate([xcount * stud_spacing, overall_width - wall_thickness - spline_length - 0.5, 0]) // Changed value here
cube([spline_thickness, spline_length + 0.5, real_height * block_height]); // Changed value here
}
translate([0, stud_spacing / 2 - wall_play - (spline_thickness/2), 0])
for (ycount = [0:real_width-1]) {
translate([wall_thickness,0,0])
translate([0, ycount * stud_spacing, 0])
cube([spline_length + 0.5, spline_thickness, real_height * block_height]); // Changed value here
translate([overall_length - wall_thickness - spline_length - 0.5, ycount * stud_spacing, 0]) // Changed value here
cube([spline_length + 0.5, spline_thickness, real_height * block_height]); // Changed value here
}
}
```

Excellent creation and well designed. Definitely a must if your "brand name bricks" obsessed kids loose peices all the time. The best 3D prints are ones like this; It's fun, practical and easy to produce.
