(Bitter) Experience tells me that at about 80 degrees Celsius*) the Lego
plastic starts to get noticeably softer. At 90 to 100 degrees Celsius it will
start to deform slowly without pressure. At this temperature most Lego will
sustain permanent damage although it may not be noticeable at first. Thus, I
found that even very small variations in size and structure from stress during
the cooling process will make Lego defunct.
The maximum sustainable temperature seems somewhat to depend on the color of
the Lego used.
The degrees given here refer to the actual temperature of the Lego pieces. Some
Lego may be able to sustain much higher temperatures for a short while.
However, I will not be the one making that experiment (mistake).
Play well!

| Does anybody know what the measurement limits are for the temperature sensor (particularly on the high end)? Do you think the sensor could be damaged by exceeding the upper limit?
