Take your wooden railway to new heights! This Modular Bridge System eliminates the frustration of collapsing tracks. Designed to seamlessly connect standard wooden train tracks (IKEA Lillabo, Brio, Thomas) with Duplo-style bricks, this system allows you to build stable, multi-level layouts that simply snap into place.

Note : it prints well in PLA and it survived my kids, but you can print in PETG for giving an extra solidity.

Why this System?

• Universal Compatibility: The custom-designed "Platform" securely holds standard wooden track pieces, while the "Poles" mount directly onto standard Duplo bricks and baseplates.
• Hold tight: Features a precision-tuned friction-fit design. The tracks don't just sit loosely; they seat firmly into the connectors, ensuring the bridge remains stable and doesn't fall apart during intense play.
• 5-Level Verticality: Includes 5 distinct pole heights to create gradual inclines or dramatic bridges. (I can do more on demand, feel free to DM me)
• Infinite Expansion: Because the poles attach to bricks, you can stack them on your existing block collection to reach any height you can imagine.

Included Modular Parts (Metric & Imperial)

• Universal Straight Track Platform: The core connector for the rails.
• Universal Curved Track Platform: with or without sign, it hel connecting the common curved track in ramps or level track.
• Pole 100: 100mm (approx. 4 inches)
• Pole 80: 80mm (approx. 3.15 inches)
• Pole 60: 60mm (approx. 2.36 inches)
• Pole 40: 40mm (approx. 1.57 inches)
• Pole 20: 20mm (approx. 0.79 inches)

Printing Guidelines

• Material: PLA is recommended for rigidity; PETG for extra durability.
• Infill: 10% Gyroid is sufficient for standard play.
• Walls: 2 walls are enough from my point of view. The poles connectors are already 100% infill, so 3 walls don't add anything to solidity here.
• Supports: Minimal snug for bridge platform. No supports at all for poles.
• Brim: Not required if bed adhesion is good.

Required Hardware

• None! This project is 100% 3D printed.
• Recommended: Standard Duplo-style bricks for extra fun.

Safety Note: While these parts are large, always supervise young children during play. Ensure prints are free of stringing or sharp edges before handing them to a child.
