|
A while back someone posted a sort of "wishlist" of parts they would like to see lego make. Has anyone (with access to a RP machine) considered making some/all of these parts? Even if just to see how they would work in the real world... (20 years ago, 14-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Last night I was showing my wife how STEP worked. She was pretty impressed until I got to the code in a _Technic 1 x 2 Brick with Hole_ where it drew the 4 quads at 24y. She said, "Well, what changed?". Being a newbie, it took me a while to (...) (20 years ago, 13-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
