PrintABlok are interlocking building toys created by the 3D Printing Professor, designed to work well on home 3D Printers. PrintABloks can be built in all 6 directions, allowing for gravity defying building unlike any other building block out there.
BASIC SKILLS
Turn a connector piece so it will fit into the hole in a blok, and press it in with another blok until they click together. It should hold fast until you give it a little pull to seperate them. You may occasionally need tools (like needlenosed pliers) to pull the connectors out of the bloks.
ACCESSORIES
You can make accessories for your PrintABloks using the included negative shapes to cut cavities out of the holes of objects. However, if you'd like a high-quality library of accessories parts compatable with PrintABloks, including articulating bloks, mosaic bloks, and mech parts, go to PrintABlok.com.
If you catch this before March 2020, you'l be taken to the PrintABlok kickstarter where you can contribute the development of more official PrintABlok accessories and parts.
REVISED VERSION NOTES
12 March 2020 a new version of the connector negative and a revised base block was updated. This new connector hole includes several small changes to increase printability on all machines and making use easier. There were no changes to the connector so backwards compatibility was maintained.
25 August 2021 Another revision to increase printability while maintatining backwards compatibility.
I've created PrintABloks so that they will 3D print well without needing aids like supports on home 3D printers, and overcome the limitations of different 3D printers and different materials.
Most default settings will work fine, but to improve strength and layer adhesion it is recommended to increase shells (or outline) to 3 or 4. Besides that, no supports will be necessary. Infill, layer height, and material is all your choice.
