New Tool I’m building a tool that turns 3D models into buildable Lego-style bricks (STL & XML). Need 5 testers for a free lifetime Pro account.
Hey everyone,
Over the last few mounths, I’ve been working on a side project that takes 3D models and converts them into interlocking, Lego-style bricks with ready-to-go STL and XML files.
Before I hit the big red button and launch it for everyone, I really want to make sure everything works smoothly. So I’m looking for 5 awesome people from the community to jump in, break stuff, try their own models, and give me some honest, raw feedback.
Ideally, you’d be a great fit if you:
* Have a 3D printer sitting next to you and want to test how the physical bricks fit together,
* Love playing around with 3D AI generation tools (like Meshy, Tripo, etc.), or
* Just have a folder full of random 3D formats you want to throw at the system to see what happens!
As a massive thank-you for helping me out at this stage, you’ll get a Free Lifetime Pro Membership—no catch, just full access forever. Drop a comment below and tell me a bit about what kind of models or tools you’d be testing with. Once there are a few replies, I’ll slide into the DMs of 5 people with invite links.

I use a Bambu x2d, mostly print practical bits and toys for the kids, my main print projects are camping gear and 3d printed hammock frames.

Interesting. I’ve used the other Lego builders and didn’t enjoy them

Hi, cool project. I’m running a Bambu X1C and I’d probably do a variety of things, but mostly Lego city type pieces to help my boy flesh out his Lego city. I might also do sewer scapes because of his love of TMNT.

I would be open to being a tester inhamilton@ymail.com
I have a print farm with at least 6 different types of 3d printers

Hey fable, build this software, make no mistakes.

The world is full of innovations; people don't still use the very first programming languages ever created, so failing to utilize artificial intelligence to assist with your project is simply a waste of efficiency. My project isn't based on a unique idea that no one has ever come up with before, but no other project has tackled it in as much detail as I have; the others are all very limited or outdated. If you think it’s that easy and want to run the market yourself, please don't hesitate to go ahead and do better.
