Lego dimensions incorrect?

g3gg0_de

Hello there,

i printed some individual Lego parts for my son and face some incorrect dimensions with larger column counts.

It seems the script uses 7.8 mm for the distance of the circles.

vector((0.78 + (c * 0.78)) + definition.dx, (0.78 + (r * 0.78)) + definition.dz) * centimeter,

while the raster is 8mm, the width of the 1-column bricks is indeed 7.8 mm to have enough space between blocks.

but the distance of the circles has to follow the 8 mm raster.

check:

Am i missing something or is the FeatureScript for Lego bricks just incorrect?

BR,

Georg

If you look at the custom feature notes it does not seem to claim to match the dimensions of a trademarked Lego brick. This was made more to show off the possibilities of what you can do with FeatureScript. It looks like you've taken a turn at doing what I was going to suggest, make a custom feature for the correct dimensions.

I'd be curious to see if you were successful in obtaining a good fit.
