This is a GREAT introduction for people trying to get comfortable with using parametric constraints in Fusion.. I'm going to use this with my STEAM kids' next time... Thank you for making this.
Nice, well done ! Some questions : there is a clearance of about 0.1mm in X and Y directions, what about the Z direction ? And the contrary about studs and shell thickness, shouldn't they be somehow thicker for tightening the bricks ?
In reality these bricks are a little bit more complex, the inside walls have a slight draft angle which allows for a bit of clearance to enter the studs and make sure that the connection tightens itself as they are pushed together. The clearance is not needed in the vertical (Z) direction because you can't have overlap in that direction. You can only stack Lego bricks top to bottom, which only allows them to overlap in the horizontal directions (X&Y or left-right&front-back). If one of your bricks is a tiny fraction taller than the other it won't cause an issue an entire build, but if it's a tiny bit too wide you won't be able fit the studs into an overlapping brick.
As far as I know, not really, at least not in the modelling environment. Maybe if you use scripts to generate Lego bricks, this might be possible, but I'm no coding expert. :)
Not with this specific design, but it certainly could be possible if you changed the design. Probably needs a few more/different parameters and a little bit more 3D-modelling for the extra features.
Good question... I think right side up (with the studs on top) will lead to the best results. Then you might even be able to print it without any supports. The overhang on the inside won't be perfect then but that shouldn't be too much of an issue since that's the inside of the brick and this doesn't need to be perfect in order for it to function well.

6 years after this was recorded, it's still pure gold for anyone on the learning phase. Thanks!

Thank you for making this.
Thank you so much explaining it so well
Thank you, very much for making this. Really good explained
Had so much fun doing this thank you!
This helped out A TON. Thanks man!
Amazing video
Amazing!!! Thank You!!!
Are these parameters just for this project or also for all my other projects
That's truly brilliant. Thank you! Nicely done video as well.
that was excellent !
Wonderfull!! Thank you!!
Please more of Lego modeling. Beams with holes and so on!!!
Nice tutorial!
Nice, well done !

For some reason the inside cylinders keep getting misaligned whenever I change the parameters. Anything idea what I might have done wrong?
same issue please let me know if you got the solution
This is such a good video. Thank you!
Nice, real good tutorial. If you have the parametric for duplo baby :) Erg duidelijk allemaal
Awesome video!
WoW so good!!! Thank you so much
is there a way to add an if then function to the inner cylinder in the case of the 1x1?
As far as I know, not really, at least not in the modelling environment. Maybe if you use scripts to generate Lego bricks, this might be possible, but I'm no coding expert. :)
wow,good....
Would it be possible to build say curved or angled bricks with this ?
Not with this specific design, but it certainly could be possible if you changed the design. Probably needs a few more/different parameters and a little bit more 3D-modelling for the extra features.
Printing question. What orientation would be best to print in?
Good question... I think right side up (with the studs on top) will lead to the best results. Then you might even be able to print it without any supports.
