(...) Center-to-center, of course. The stud diameters differ by 0.028 between the drawings too, creating a diff of the gaps of 0.046 (but the length of the parts are exactly the same). (...) Well, the drawings are of parts, not molds (and the parts (...) (15 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That much? Wow. I figured the distance between two studs should be closer to 3mm, since a LEGO tile is (in theory) 3.2mm thick, and it will sorta fit between two studs. Or were you refering to the center-to-center distance? Anyways, one thing (...) (15 years ago, 27-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Huh. I was about to point out that a 48x48 baseplate is 15" per side, but it turns out it's actually just shy of 15-1/8". Conversion gets you 381mm based on a 15" baseplate, and 384mm based on an 8mm 1x brick, and that 3mm difference is just (...) (15 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
