  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) YRW :-) In a book of LEGO history I read, it was explicitely stated that the original inch based measures were changed to mm. I don't remember which year, but it was a long time ago. The distance between two studs is 8 mm. (17 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) When I measured a 32 X 32 baseplate it was 10 inches. From my understanding 1 LDU is about equal to 1/64 inch. The Lego company though would surely be able to give you precise meaurements. (17 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(tried to answer yesterday, but something got wrong...) (...) You can easily build a slightly shorter span version using common axle 12! (...) Here too, something went wrong. Corrected now! Philo (17 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) Given that Denmark went fully metric in 1912 and that a 1x1 brick is 8mm x 8mm x 9.6mm (stud exclusive) it seems unlikely that imperial will work out better for you. Although it does so happen that 8mm is quite close to 5/16inch. Tim (17 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Looking for dimensions of LEGO bricks.
 
(...) IIRC, *real* Lego parts use Imperial units, so converting to/measuring using the metric system will involve lots of decimal places. -Mike (17 years ago, 25-May-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) SNIP (...) *Very* interesting, Philo! I just wish I had the white axle 16. :-( Is it just me, or is the page 4 of the building instructions messed up? (17 years ago, 24-May-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) These tools look very useful! Thanks for sharing the idea and design, Philo. Jim (17 years ago, 24-May-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.technic, FTX)
