FB-10000-4 Calibration Package This post gives information and tips on printing Frankenblocks and any other Lego inspired / compabitle bricks.
Standard Baseplates The standard baseplate is a 16x8x2 rectangle with a combination of lowered flat surfaces, studded areas, and M4 holes. All standard plates can be interconnected using 2x2x1, 2x3x1, or 2x4x1 plates. This is not always the case with the variant plates.
Whuzzat? Frankenblocks are a range of (more or less) Lego inspired and compatible blocks, intended to set up mechanical and electronical experiments, intended for hobby and educational purposes. These pieces are shaped in such a way that you can combine Lego (compatible) blocks with… well, basically enything else. I plan to support servo motors, breadboards, Bambu’s cyberbricks, Mciro:bit stuff, and anything else that piques my interest.
Naming scheme FB-10035-3 • FB - Frankenblock • 10035 - Number (everything I design will start with number 1, so I guess after 9999 parts I’ll have to stop :-) • 3 - Version 3. If a new version has major changes from a previous one, it will have a completely new number. If you look for something specific, just search for FB-10035 or similar, and leave the version number out. Missin’ somethin’? The rest of this page is a catalogue of Frankenblocks and projects, but the list below may not be complete. Just browsing? Simply keep scrolling, or list all related blog posts. Looking for a specific part? Use the search function (don’t forget to leave the version number out). I’ve not yet listed all the parts that I’ve created. If you’re looking for something specific then leave me a message somewhere on the blog. Before you print Always check the scale and X-Y compensation (see the calibration package). If you start using a different material or brand of filament (and sometimes even if you start using another color!) then consider re-calibrating.

10010-5 Standard brick 2x4x3 The ‘Hello World’ equivalent in 3D printed building bricks.

10035-3 Baseplate Small Dual Groove - 8x16x2 The standard baseplate with mounting holes on the corners, lowered sections to run cables through or slide other elements in, and 6 M4 holes in the center to attach other objects.
10042-3 Baseplate Small Technic Dual Groove - 8x16 A counterpart to the standard baseplate. This one is compatible with Lego Technic.
Variant Baseplates These are alternative plates, like older or special versions.
10043-2 Baseplate Small Technic No Groove - 8x16 For those situations where you need the maximal number of Lego Technic mounting holes.
