Custom LDD bricks and fixes
Equilibrium posted a topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Please comment, request and discuss about LDD new parts here Now this topic is intended as a support area for the LDD New Parts thread Ok, let's do this. Inspired by @M2m thread I've started wrting a 3D Studio Max script that allows importing, editing and exporting LDD brick geometry and their XML data. They are rough, some geometry data is unknown (this doesn't have any visible or noticable impact so far) but it works and here's the result (click for bigger pictures): Fixed connectivity issue of 90 deg tube (pretty popular piece for 2018/2019 technic sets): Custom 3x5x2 panel that I saw in one of the Chinese custom (not copied from Lego) models: I was curious how my MOC would look like with more realistic, narrow tires so I shrinked Unimog tire to fit on 42029 rim. Dimensions: 81,6 x 30: For the tractor enthusiasts - how could a Class tire look like on an Arcos rim - also that Chinese model. Dimensions: 64,2 x 20 (I've made is slighty bigger than original tire): Moved some parts around and fixed default orientation of some of technic panels: -
[MOC] Will you smurf me? This will be a gift for my wife for our upcomming 1 year wedding anniversary. I had a blast designing this. The parts will arrive next week. I hope she will like it! Polybag competition I have created some more Smurfs as entries for the Polybag Competition at Brickset.com. Each polybag contains one Smurf with associated accessories. All the polybags comply with the rule of "approximately 50 pieces". Collect all the polybags to gather a small Smurf Village! [MOC] Jokey Smurf comes with a giftbox... BOOM! [MOC] Papa Smurf comes with a magic book, cauldron and potion bottle [MOC] Vanity Smurf [MOC] Baker Smurf comes with a delicious cake and rolling pin [MOC] Sleepy Smurf comes with a pillow and flower... ZZZzzz

[HELP] Power Functions BT Receiver
codefox421 posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I've put together an open source solution for controlling Power Functions using Bluetooth. Back when I started this, I had heard of the upcore, but it promised to be expensive and do a lot more than necessary. (Now that project doesn't even seem to exist anymore.) I've designed more of a 1:1 replacement for the standard PF IR receiver. Go here to find all the delicious source files: https://github.com/Btbricks Reading the readme can help in getting started: https://github.com/BTbricks/brickster-bluetooth-receiver/blob/master/README.md Here is a video of a very early prototype: I've built an Android app that looks just like the Power Functions remotes: I'd love to hear your thoughts about different app designs that could be useful. The cost per device is about $26. Everything squeezes into the inside of a theoretical 3x4 brick. I'm working on designing an enclosure (read: flashy plastic box), so please tell me what you would be looking for in terms of how it integrates with other LEGO bricks. Thanks! P.S. I'm trying to keep things licensed under an MIT license as much as possible. It is the most open of open source licenses! P.P.S. This topic is maybe inadequately named now. -

Hello everyone 1- I hope this subject is in the right place. 2- Sorry for my bad english I think you all have at one time or another during a construction, wanted to have a room that does not exist to carry out your project. So, you've probably imagined several over the years. 1- I imagined myself to create several in recent days (others to come) You can find them on Flickr HERE you can react on what you see. 2- Would you like to propose some already, in 3D or other? I opened a group for: - the techniques, - tutorials - new coins 1 month ago on Flickr HERE 3- Do you have any ideas? => Could you describe by embellishing an image that you would like to have? I can try to create on request if my limitation 2D (photoshop) allows it. By the way for your information, I also realized baseplates that are on Flickr. I would like your opinions, your reactions, your proposals ... TYVM Some exemples:

As you can see from my user name Rocket Racer is my favorite Lego character ever since I saw him in the original Lego Racers game back in 1999. I had been thinking about making a custom t-shirt for myself but couldn't find a stock shirt with one blue and one red sleeve, so ultimately I decided to sew one myself. The Rocket Racer logo was added with iron-on vinyl. Not 100% happy with the result, but I think it came out ok seeing this was the first time I sew a shirt.

LEGO Decals printing: what are the best options?
Hidronax posted a topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Hello :D I have made a few decal design I'd like to print or get printed, but I am not sure about what is the best way to do it. Is it better to do it at home? Or is there services I can use? (I live in the UK, in case you have specific services to recommend) Most services online assume you want to print a large number of the same sticker, but it's not my case. I've seen also many people use the "laser printer" technique to print their own stickers at home. Do they turn out durable? Do they have good quality, is the dithering noticeable? In the past I had stickers printed on a PVC sticker sheet, but they were too think and didn't stick enough, so over a few hours they'd just come off round surfaces like minifigure heads. Also, they were very easily scratched, which is not great... If you don't mind sharing photos of your own custom decals, it'd be greatly appreciated! Thanks :) -

ladies, gentlemen, After the hussars, i went on the chasseurs (really close indeed). I started from this picture: model and decide to go further than what i did until now. If you want to see the steps, please go on the flickr. I had to creat the eagle for the flag, and the saddle, on which i added a clip to put the rifle. escort the emperor by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr escort the emperor by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr escort the emperor by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr escort the emperor by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr The chasseur à cheval de la garde regiment was the regiment of the bodyguards of the emperor. In fact, we often see Napoléon the 1st in chasseur uniform napoléon en tenue de chasseur by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr because he is the honourable commander of the regiment. In this diorama, you can a little part of the escort which should be at least 25 chasseurs. What do you think about it?

Hey guys! I have made some custom parts for Stud.io which I wanted to share with you! First of all I added the connectivity to the files of the Big Ben Bricks drivers. In addition I used them as a basis to make part files for the #13 (XXL) drivers as well as thin train wheels in sizes #6, #7 and #9 (MS, M and L using the old naming convention). custom drivers for Studio by ScotNick1, on Flickr Also I created parts for the windows which are in develoment by Fx Bricks: Fx Bricks train windows for Studio by ScotNick1, on Flickr Here are the links for downloading the files: Train Wheels Train Windows Best is to download the whole folder as a package. I also included a text file with instructions how to add the parts to your custom parts library. Keep in mind that some of the dimensions might not be 100% correct, but they are pretty close and have always worked out for me so far While I didn't have any problems rendering the wheels I did run into problems rendering the glass panes of the Fx Bricks windows in trans-clear. Let me know if you run into any problems or struggle with adding the parts! Hope this will be helpful to you! Cheers, Nick

Custom pneumatic switches
Technic tango posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
There are a couple sources to get modified parts but 20$ although sensible for the time required to mod, isnt really justifiable for me, and whenever i try it myself it never works out. Ive been toying with the idea of making 3d printed pneumatics that already have lower friction requirements to move, and have wider ports. What im struggling to overcome though is what to do about the nature of 3d prints. The surface finish may look smooth, but it definitely has substantial friction to it when rubbing other parts and if i smooth it with sandpaper then i lose my tolerances. I have not found anyone else trying to do this or anyone else selling ready made lpe valves that are injection molded, likely because so few people want them. Any insights to making something like this would be appreciated because im stumped on how to make a valve design like lego's work in the same or similiar form factor. -

Ladies and gentlemen, Since i was a child, i was disappointed byr the firefighters' helmet of the lego sets. French, i wanted a european style helmet, especially a french one which i found really nice. download (2) by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr So i decided to make one for my firefighters. i modified a 3d file found on the internet (it was a pencil holder) to put it on the head of my minifigs. Ceremony of distribution of the new helmets at the fire station. by LA BRIQUE DE CAMBRONNE, sur Flickr Kids where happy to get new stuff for their fire station. but we had to make thing in the right order and put some solemnity. So we had to make some ceremony for the distribution of the new helmets, especially because some of older guys where in service since 90s. So with kids we organize a beautiful ceremony for this great event, and still don't know what to do with the old helmets (trashcan?).

Hello, I have been designing some custom LEGO stickers lately and I'm really enjoying it, I have found this place near me that prints good quality vynil stickers. The problem is that these stickers are quite thick, so they won't work for example for the legs, cause they come off when the leg bends. Same for the heads when putting on hair. Is there thinner vynil sticker paper that would work for the legs? What's your experience? I'm also considering waterslide decals, I've read the tutorials here on the forums. I couldn't find any recent example of custom minifigures made using this technique, can anybody share some hi res photos? Also, is there any way to print light colors on dark pieces with waterslide paper? Thanks! ;)

Does anybody know the print resolution of the original LEGO stickers? (In DPI or PPI) Educated guesses are welcome. Thanks!
