I am a 15-year-old student from Greece and I am currently developing a 3D Printing-Milling Machine out of LEGO Components The project is hosted http://code.google.com/p/lego-mindstorms-3d-printing-machine/. The reason I am posting this is to inquire the community about the development of an opensource project combining the modularity of LEGOs with CCPP (Creative Commons Peer Production) and alternative manufacturing techniques. PS The machine isn't able to perform additive manufacturing, owing to the material of which LEGOs consist. Therefore it's able to perform substractive manufacturing. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,178986#msg-178986 Sun, 12 Jul 2026 08:47:25 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179238#msg-179238 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179238#msg-179238 [www.instructables.com]]]> Gene Hacker General Fri, 25 Jan 2013 09:41:17 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179206#msg-179206 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179206#msg-179206 MaR1oC General Fri, 25 Jan 2013 07:18:40 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179033#msg-179033 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179033#msg-179033 www.youtube.com]]]> rhmorrison General Thu, 24 Jan 2013 16:12:46 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179028#msg-179028 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179028#msg-179028 MaR1oC General Thu, 24 Jan 2013 15:54:30 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179021#msg-179021 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,179021#msg-179021
And 'Lego-RepStraps' were started here several times in the last 5 years - read here for some examples:

2. IMHO milling with a device made out of legos is far less likely than printing with a device made out of legos.]]> xclusive585 General Thu, 24 Jan 2013 14:38:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,178986#msg-178986 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,178986,178986#msg-178986 The project is hosted http://code.google.com/p/lego-mindstorms-3d-printing-machine/.
