  Re: 3D printers
 
(...) I don't think there's any 3D printing technology available that hits the tolerances needed for functional Lego compatible pieces (I think Lego pieces are manufactured to ±.0006") The resolution on filament fed printers (fused deposition (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Monorail Record
 
NELUG recently held an event dedicated to setting the world record for the longest LEGO monorail track. From everything we had seen, the previous record was somewhere around 200-300 linear feet of monorail track, depending on how you counted it, (...)

  Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
 
(...) Two things come immediately to mind. The first is that it's really amusing that he's saying that now that there are a much wider variety of parts, it's harder to build something with them. I've got over 40 cars in my collection now that could (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  3D printers
 
I was curious if anyone here has had experience using 3D printers to print Lego compatible pieces. Through an email list, I stumbled across this product: (URL) thought others here might be interested since it uses ABS as the printing material and (...) (13 years ago, 24-Feb-12, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Portland Train Event
 
This past weekend, February 25-26, 2012, a great train event happened in Portland, Oregon, USA at the Worlds Greatest Hobby show. Sure, the show itself is a train event, but at the show something even greater happened. There were 3 separate train (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Mathematical proof that you can't build anything with LEGO bricks
 
(...) He would argue that the increase in the number of new types of pieces is actually an indication that the LEGO system is getting less flexible. But as you say, the system is designed so that every piece connects to at least one other piece (...) (13 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
