    People Are Posting ‘Illegal’ Lego Building Techniques And They Are Actually Genius
    https://www.boredpanda.com/illegal-lego-building-techniques-hacks/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=BPTwitter

    When we are young we use games to push boundaries, however, there are some adults who are just as good at breaking all the rules. Adult fans of lego or AFOL, are people who haven’t let their enthusiasm for the building game die. While these enthusiasts respect the activity, some have gone off-map to create – “illegal lego building techniques,” and they are awesome.

    FliteTest Turns a LEGO City Arctic Air Transport Into a Real Quadcopter
    https://blog.hackster.io/flitetest-turns-a-lego-city-arctic-air-transport-into-a-real-quadcopter-e308ad7f9248

    Unfortunately, as adults, our imagination withers and we stop being satisfied with make-believe. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t make real flying LEGO vehicles! Which is why FliteTest’s LEGO City Arctic Air Transport quadcopter conversion is so cool.

    You Can Build A Lego Rubik’s Cube
    https://hackaday.com/2021/10/23/you-can-build-a-lego-rubiks-cube/

    Rubik’s cubes are a popular puzzle — one found exciting or infuriating depending on your personal bent. [PuzzLEGO] has designed a LEGO Rubik’s cube, with the latest revision improving on flimsy earlier designs.

    The first step was to design a core that would allow the cube to rotate freely without being too loose.

    I made a fully functional LEGO RUBIK’S CUBE (3x3x3)

    ULIO 3D Brix Allows You to Piece Together Your Own 3D Printer Out of Plastic Bricks
    https://www.hackster.io/news/ulio-3d-brix-allows-you-to-piece-together-your-own-3d-printer-out-of-plastic-bricks-40cff3ae71ec

    The ULIO 3D Brix can produce high-quality prints at a resolution ranging from 50 to 300 microns.

    You can now build a fully functional 3D printer made entirely out of plastic bricks! ULIO 3D recently unveiled ULTIO 3D Brix, a brick set that anyone can snap together, brick by brick. The user just needs to follow the instructions packaged with the project. Anyone interested in purchasing this innovative do-it-yourself kit can back the project through the Kickstarter page.

    The set includes more than 850 pieces of varying sizes and shapes, compatible with any major brand. Even more, the user doesn’t need to worry about dealing with heavy work like assembling the 3D printer’s mechanical parts. Instead, they need to snap everything together. Not only that, but it doesn’t require any soldering whatsoever since everything is pre-wired. Measuring 10” x 10” x 16” and weighing approximately 9 lbs, it only requires you to plug in seven terminals once the assembly process is complete.

    The team behind this project also integrated Trinamic stepper drivers into the printer, ensuring a noise-free printing experience. Plus, the prints are high-quality, with the layer resolution reaching as low as 50 microns and as high as 300 microns. It even runs on Marlin firmware, uses fused filament fabrication (FFF) printing technology, and supports STL and OBJ file types.
