Home 3D printers like RepRap (http://inventorspot.com/articles/engineers_build_selfreplicating_machine_14379 http://inventorspot.com/articles/engineers_build_selfreplica...) seem certain to cut into Lego market share? You need a shape - just print it.
- neovive 17y agoPerhaps, if you need a replacement piece. It must be quite costly to to "print" a new set Legos vs. just buying the set.
- sethg 17y agoMy impression is that Lego bricks are engineered to very precise tolerances (see comment above re MegaBlocks); I wonder how close RepRap could come to the standard of a real brick.
