Lego Tape, A Flexible Not-LEGO-Compatible Parametric Model
Description
Lego Is A Trademark Owned By The Lego Company And Has Nothing To Do With Me Or These Files. I Make This Note Now Because They Are Taking Down My Files In A Weak Attempt To Protect Their Fading Legacy. Listen To Me Lego, You Can S*Ck My F*Cking Di*K! Inspired By Nimuno Loops Successful Crowdfunding Campaign Https://Www.Indiegogo.Com/Projects/Nimuno-Loops-The-Toy-Block-Tape I Was Curious How Well Flexible Lego'S Could Be Made At Home. To My Surprise It Worked Very Well! . This Design Is Parametric, Click 'Open In Customizer' To Make Your Own Sizes. . The Model Allows You To Make 'Brick Tape' Which Has The Top Side Of Lego Studs, Or 'Tile Tape' Which Is The Underside Of Legos. . ***Filament Used:*** Http://Amzn.To/2Np143M I Used A Filament That Is On The Harder Side Of The Flexible Spectrum, Tpu Shore 95A. **Removable Adhesive Tape Options:** Re-Stickable Tabs: Http://Amzn.To/2Newju8 Foam Tape For Rough Surfaces: Http://Amzn.To/2Nps7Vm **Permanent Adhesive Tape Options:** Thin And Clean Tape: Http://Amzn.To/2Msj91O (Used In The Video) Foam Tape For Rough Surfaces: Http://Amzn.To/2Mwn3Ht Alternate Thin Tape Choice: Http://Amzn.To/2Mwiha4 *Lego® Is A Trademark Of The Lego® Group, Which Does Not Sponsor, Authorize Or Endorse This Work. Https://Youtu.Be/3-W8Szg4Uhw **Updated 7-2-17. Come To Find Out My Printer Wasn'T Properly Calibrated When I Created The Original File, I'Ve Since Changed It To Reflect The Newly Recommended Default Settings. The Model Currently Reflects Exact Dimensions Of Real Legos And I Do Not Recommend Scaling It. If Your Printer Makes The Studs Too Small/Large Then Try: * Changing Your Extrusion Multiplier * Printing 'External Perimeters First' To Ensure That Path Overlap Doesnt Cause Your Critical Surfaces To Shift. *Printing With Nozzle Diameter .4Mm Or Less. Layer Height .2Mm Or Less. *If All Else Fails And You Want To Rescue An Imperfect Brick, Blast It With A Heatgun For A Few Sec Then Press It Onto A Real Lego And Let Cool. Careful, This Can Easily Ruin Bricks Too.
