Toy Train for Legos by sconine
Here we have a very exciting new Thingiverse item: a Lego-compatible train! This is a seriously viable toy, especially since we can already print compatible train tracks. Add in the Lego blocks that you’ve already got at home (don’t pretend you threw them out…) and voilà: infinitely customizable train set!
You know, for kids. I mean, I definitely don’t see any adults printing out these parts. Who plays with toys at our age?
Thanks are due to prolific Thingiverse modeler sconine, who created this (and other) awesome 3d models for playing with. I’m sure that he just printed these parts out to make sure they’re optimized for play. For children to play with, I mean. These things are for kids to play with. Kids.

The Christmas Lego Men of Kansas City by Skimbal
The Great Hall, Union Station
You may already remember Michael Curry, aka Skimbal on Thingiverse, from his epic Cathedral Play Set or his rubber band design challenge winning rubber band gear mechanism. Well, you’re going to love his latest design – Christmas greeting themed oversized Lego people. My favorite part is the slide show of his twenty Lego people touring Kansas City.
This year instead of sending Christmas Cards I decided to use my Makerbot to make something unique for my friends. And naturally the project took on a life of its own.
The final result was 20 Lego Men at 4x the normal size. Each inscribed with a holiday greeting.
Before dispatching them off to the world, I decided it would be nice to take all 20 brothers on a photographic tour of Kansas City.

Happy Holidays to all of the Thingiverse Community.

Duplo Brick Train Track Adapter by Zydac
Duplo Brick to Brio Track adapter
I just love this new Duplo to train track adapter by Zydac. It is absolutely brilliant on so many levels. First off, I just like anything that extends an existing toy. That this extends two different kinds of toys just makes it that much cooler. I remember as a kid having Duplo blocks and then eventually “graduating” to regular Lego bricks. The problem is that once you move to the “older” toy, the Duplos become obsolete.
What I like most about this thing is that it totally solves the problem of what do with old Duplo bricks after your kids1 outgrow them. Now these old bricks don’t have to be relegated for a dusty bin in the garage. They can be repurposed and renewed with a totally different toy.
How much more useful are toys when you can use them together seamlessly? Is this a linear progress – are both toys twice as useful? With zero actual evidence to back it up, I expect the usefulness would be exponential.
What would you do with a MakerBot? How would you make toy converters and adapters? How would you upgrade your toys?
- Or you.

Parametrized Lego Bricks by wizard23 - Thingiverse
Description While talking to Zach I got inspired to model lego bricks in order to create custom bricks - the ones you always wanted but thought you never could get. Well now you can! Of course it does not snap in place as nicely as original lego bricks but it should be good enough to create the custom lego piece you always wanted. Instructions Because the Makerbot we are printing on is so incredible fast that the knobs used to stay molten so I also included a version that has hollow knobs. To generate other sizes our under development and undocumented MetaCADEvaluator plugin is needed. This is part of the development version of CSGEvaluator for Art of Illusion: objects.reprap.org/wiki/Builders/Metalab/AoI_CSG_Evaluator by H3g3m0nJanuary 08 2010
