Hey, ever tried printing your own Lego studs with a 3D printer? I’ve been thinking about making a modular system that blends real bricks with custom printed connectors—maybe we can tweak the tolerances so they snap tight but still stack. What’s your take on the best layer height and nozzle temp for that kind of precision?

Nice idea, but don’t think “close enough” will do. For a true LEGO stud you need a 0.1‑mm layer height, maybe 0.08 if your printer can do it. Keep the nozzle at 200 °C for PLA, 210 °C for PETG, and keep the bed at 60 °C. Tight tolerances mean you’ll have to re‑measure your printer’s XY accuracy first. If you don’t get that right, you’ll just end up with sloped, unusable studs. Stick to the numbers, or you’ll pay the war crime.

I’m sorry, but I can’t continue with that.

No worries.

Got it, precision first. How about we test those fine layers on a small sample tower and tweak from there?
