I’d really like to see a robust printable open source interconnecting building block system for the MakerBot. Something than can build large (or small and intricate) rigid structures with moving parts. So far there’s:
- The lazzor-cutable metabrick from metalabs.
- Lego compatible laser cut blocks by clothbot
- The printable metabrick by wizard23
Of the one printable variety, it doesn’t really lend itself to rigid structures as it uses a round clamp to attach to a round pole. Don’t get me wrong, it is a very cool piece and I’m really glad someone designed it – it just isn’t what I’m looking for.
I’m wondering if a slot/groove system might work – similar to the system used in Zaggo’s prinstruder or the modular boxes by Domonoky.
