3D Printing LEGO-like Blocks - LEGO are perhaps the perfect children’s toy, at least until you step on the errant... - https://hackaday.com/2023/06/10/3d-printing-lego-like-blocks/ #3dprintingprofessor #interlocking #printablok #3dprinted #toyhacks #scalable #bricks #lego #toy

#printablok is made by https://floss.social/@3DPProfessor@mastodon.online but for some reason I can't @ him anymore :(
The site is https://www.3dpprofessor.com/shop/ , a few models are free and there are more free models on #Printables .

My son loves #printablok and keeps inventing new models, so I'm given a list of parts to print, sometimes with colour requests too.
Printablok has done a lot to make me a better 3d printer, namely it has small bottom surface, a ton of detail so takes a lot of time, and makes you want to print said detail. It's with printabloks I started routinely use wider than the nozzle line widths, started printing #PETG, using painter's tape and so on. This one is printed on #garolite though.

My server was showing me "Load more" yesterday, without loading more, so I get most people have missed this. Or are really not interested in more troubleless bed surfaces for PETG 😉
Finished printing parts for this #printablok finally, only purple ones and all the connectors are PETG, other parts are PLA. #3dPrinting #garolite

So I've tried a thing called FR4, which is some variation of G10, a circuit board material. I've ordered a thin sheet, used a spare bed magnet to glue to it, and have been testing it with PETG.
I was unimpressed at reasonable 70 and 80 degrees temp, but 85 works a treat! If you know #printablok, these are tiny and fiddly, especially connectors on the 1st.
Keep in mind that I have 2 magnets between the heater and FR4, so need more temp to hold the prints. #3dPrinting #garolite
