**Important!** - One of the ways I am able to get such a smooth print, is that I am printing a majority of my parts with 3 shell layers and no smaller than 2.


I have also been able to create some accessories for the base lego figures that can be used to create a more customized feel to the printed models. I think that most would agree that the second generation look more accurate compared to the 1st generation (Things should work this way). I now feel this was a blessing because I decided with this second generation of figures to really sit down, dismantle a lego figure to examine how they are assembled, and take some accurate measurements to get more accurate results. stl files and cad files for the Lego figures I originally created. However, the real reason I devoted so much time into designing new figures was because I am an idiot and accidentally deleted my. I decided to continue my exploration into designing and 3d printing my own lego figures because I really wasn't satisfied with my final product during the first generation of these figures. Why am I using AutoCAD? I am using AutoCAD because in my classroom its the only 3d modeling software that we have access to, plus its software that can be easily downloaded at home by my students.Īn important point is that I am printing all of my parts for this project on a Makerbot Replicator 2 3d printer. One of my challenges with this project is to see how detailed I can get using the AutoCAD 3d modeling tool set. You can find that previous Instructable here. Alright, before I get started describing this Instructable, this is a continuation of a previous instructable that I posted a year or so ago about 3d printing lego figures and finishing PLA prints.
