The model is a good approximation of the original model that it’s based on. There are some non-functional divots in the original that were not included in this model but all of the functional parts of the model are replicated from the original.
For some reason, the outer edges of the block printed with a gap between them and the body of the model. The model was printed horizontally so this may be due to printer error.
The model is able to snap to other LEGOs without deforming and is able to properly house the gears and shafts that are typically used with the real model.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
