Note that the studs fit great between the bottom tubes, but they don't bind *at all* when placed inside the tubes. There is another type of stud that fits (...)

I made up a 2x2 Duplo trial last night. I used the same wall thickness as Lego bricks (4 (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

The 3001's studs end at 4 LDU from the edge, and The Duplo brick fits perfectly well on top, and it ends where the 3001 ends. So the Duplo wall must be exactly 4 LDU. Also note (...)

The newer ones are quite close to 11. I haven't checked the older ones that closely. (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
