I’d like to have a few LEGO bricks 3D printed at SIGGRAPH this year. I have a contact who is willing to print up the bricks for me using a StrataSys machine [1].

Can someone please create and send me an ASCII STL file of a 2x4 brick?
Also, any other neat parts that would print up. I’d love to see if the machine can handle one of these:



Simple VRML files will work also. Please email me with your files and with any questions.

SIGGRAPH starts a week from today! :-)

(...) Hi Tim, Since I just spent a week doing this, let me throw in a few caveats: If you're talking about going from DAT to reality using an RP machine, you're going to have to tweak some of the dimensions.

(...) Just a quick update on this ... The parts built with Stratasys and ZCorp machines are coming along well. My contact has printed a couple versions and Jason's been making improvements to the files that give us better results. I'll have pics (...)
