The building blocks in this video are printed in PLA plastic and are compatible with genuine LEGO Blocks but they do not have the same tolerances, design or quality as authentic LEGO Blocks. The Blocks printed in this video are for my personal use only and are meant to be a demonstration of the abilities that a desktop 3D printer and nothing more.

Hey Nerdgasm fans today I was bored and decided to print some LEGO Compatible building blocks on my Ultimaker 3D printer since I couldn’t find any of mine in the attic. I picked up the model from Wizard23 on Thingiverse and it works perfectly and is compatible with real LEGO blocks (but these are a different material and not as durable or fit together as well). In this video I print 2×2 and 4×4 blocks which are the most common blocks but the sky is the limit and you can print anything your imagination can come up with. The tolerance on the print is amazing and you don’t have to use any support structure. The Ultimaker is able to span the gaps easily and accurately so you don’t have to waste any plastic and you don’t have to do any cleanup on the blocks once you are done printing them.

All the blocks were printed at 0.1mm layer height in silver PLA material and they work amazingly well. The tolerances this printer can produce are amazing. Every day I’m happy that I decided to go with the Ultimaker as my 3D printer of choice and when I have time I plan to build a heated bed for it so I can print in ABS and some other materials.
