Knob Config - MachineBlocks - Building Block STL Generator optimized for 3D Printing

Standard Knobs

As standard, all bricks have normal, filled knobs with a height of 1.8 mm and a diameter of 4.9 mm.

//Import MachineBlocks block() module
use <machineblocks/lib/block.scad>;

//Generate 2x2 Brick with standard knobs
block(
    baseLayers = 3,
    grid = [2, 2],
    knobSize = 5.0 //Reduce this value if the knobs do not fit into a LEGO brick or only with great difficulty
);

Technic Knobs

By setting the parameter knobsFilled to false, the bricks get Technic-like knobs with a hole in the middle.

//Import MachineBlocks block() module
use <machineblocks/lib/block.scad>;

//Generate 2x2 Brick with technic knobs
block(
    baseLayers = 3,
    grid = [2, 2],
    knobType = "technic",
    knobSize = 5.0 //Reduce this value if the knobs do not fit into a LEGO brick or only with great difficulty
);

Centered Knobs

By setting the parameter knobsCentered to true, the knobs are centered on the brick.

3D printable model of a LEGO 2x2 plate with centered knob.

//Import MachineBlocks block() module
use <machineblocks/lib/block.scad>;

//Generate 2x2 Plate with centered knob
block(
    grid = [2, 2],
    knobType = "technic",
    knobCentered = true,
    knobSize = 5.0 //Reduce this value if the knobs do not fit into a LEGO brick or only with great difficulty
);

Without Knobs

Bricks without knobs can be created by setting the parameter knobs to false.

//Import MachineBlocks block() module
use <machineblocks/lib/block.scad>;

//Generate 2x2 Plate without knobs
block(
    grid = [2, 2],
    knobType = "none"
);
