I came up with this a while back:
in this thread: http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=15415.
I just updated links in latest post: http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=38984 (I
just added cause i realized it wasn’t in my b-shelf gallery for this new
thread).
The different colors show brick plate & pin pieces; the (poor) photo is my IRL
attempt which needed to be thicker to pull apart. The render just shows
proportion/locations of pegs & holes. The axle (blue rendered) peg can be
replaced with a brick/peg combo as with the others; it (blue peg) was supposed
to allow easier pull-apart-ability, increase stability & reduce shear on pegs by
keeping at least a peg in those locations (versus 2 pegs less, thus more shear).
