Plus Plus Brick System - Custom Shapes

thingiverse

My 4-year-old child is absolutely crazy about the Danish Plus Plus brick construction toys (https://www.plus-plus.com) even more than LEGO. It's a really simple design that are super easy to assemble and manipulate for small hands. The design is much more forgiving and easier to disassemble than LEGO, which makes it perfect for kids. However, because Plus Plus bricks only come in one shape, I find it somewhat limiting when it comes to creative options. So, I decided to model some new variations on the Plus Plus brick and print them out in PP, so they'd be compatible with the original bricks (made of PE). I stuck w/ a design paradigm of simple 2D profiles based on multiples of the basic 4mm square interlocking cube, keeping the shapes simple and true to the spirit of the original parts. Of course, we can expand out into 3D and I may do so for the next iterations. I'd love to see how you use these new parts in concert with the original Plus Plus bricks. Please also share if you design any new shape variants! Let's share the fun together.
