2x2 brick with 4 peg holes?

[SNIPE]

Hi,

Does anybody know of any Lego bricks that are 2x2 studs in width and lengh, and also have a 'peg hole' on each side?.

I've had a snoop around LDD and Bricklink, but can't see any, however, i'm sure i've seen one before.

The only ones I remember are these, but they have something growing from two sides.

Some of the hinges used in, for instance, creator sets have them, but there are all kinds of other things attached to the other sides of the bricks. Perhaps that's what you remember?

It should be impossible to have 4 peg holes in a 2x2 brick. I made a short test in MLCAD and that's the result:

The pegs would intersect each other.

You could make a part like it, but yes it would only allow two pins added at a time. And the geometry where the holes interfer will be quite odd.

Don't expect a part like this ever to appear, because you can't use all holes at once, which makes it kind of useless. In fact you can't use any two holes at the same time, that are at 90 degrees to each other.

Even with only 2 pins holes, the pins would intersect the center tube which would be a problem. The easiest way to do this is just use two 1x2 Technic bricks back to back. Like you say, there's no way to allow pins on all 4 sides at the same time. You need 3x3 (or more) for that.

Hi,

The peg hole is actually for an axle but onlt 0.5L of each of the 2L axles are put into each side of the brick.

Since there is probably no such brick id say this project is killed.

Why not create an alternate design? Isn't that what Lego is about?

[SNIPE]

There is still limitations with lego since we are not making out out specical bricks from scratch

I have managed to find an assembly I made in LDD but I dont know if it will work, it is a 1x1 brick that has 4 studs on every side that have a small hole in each of them, this is fine for one of the small axles as that does not need to spin as the hole in the gear is not being meshed on that however the other axle needs to spni with the gear as that goes to the wheels.

I dont think the tiny holes in the bricks allow the axle to spin very freely.

I know it's not 2 x 2, but this is the closest thing that I could think of...

Well, the 2x2 technic brick could have half technic beam studholes on two sides and normal studholes on the other two. Then you can use 3/4 technic pins on two sides and normal technic pins or axle on the other sides. Actually all four sides could have groves for 3/4 technic pins.

What if it would be anything where you can use the short side of a 3/4 Pin? I think, this should work...

But, nevertheless, I don't know for what it could be needed...

What about this:

[SNIPE]

nah because its for gears so it has to be either a cross hole or a pin/pipe that fits in the gear

but two sides have to have a cross axle attached to it as it is for a differential. the rest of the gears can have a small axle or a pin/pipe.
