Thing Information: "2x8 Bricks" for 3D Printing

Name: 2x8 Bricks

Description: A simple, rectangular 2x8 brick model designed for 3D printing. The brick features a top surface with pegs and a bottom surface with corresponding holes, allowing multiple bricks to be stacked and connected seamlessly. The design ensures that an unlimited number of bricks can be printed and used together in various configurations.

File Format: STL (StereoLithography), optimized for 3D printing.

Dimensions:

Length: Approximately 64 mm (8 studs).
Width: 16 mm (2 studs).
Height: 9.6 mm, a standard height for building bricks.
Design Features:

Top Surface: Features 2 rows of 8 circular pegs (studs) for easy stacking with other printed bricks.
Bottom Surface: Includes corresponding holes or tubes that perfectly align with the studs from another brick, ensuring a tight and secure fit.
Shape: Rectangular with smooth edges and rounded corners, similar to classic building blocks.
Material Compatibility: Can be printed using PLA, PETG, or ABS. PLA is suitable for general use, while ABS or PETG can offer more durability and resistance to wear, especially for repeated assembly and disassembly.

Intended Use: Ideal for building projects, model construction, or creative play. The 2x8 bricks can be printed in large quantities, and the precise fit ensures compatibility between all printed bricks. These bricks are perfect for modular builds, DIY projects, or even educational purposes.

Customizability: The brick surface can be printed in different colors for varied use, or labels and designs can be added for customization. You can scale the size of the bricks to fit different needs if desired.

Notes: The STL file is ready for slicing. A fine layer height is recommended for smooth, accurate pegs and holes, while infill can be kept low (around 10-20%) to reduce material use without compromising structural integrity. Supports are typically not needed for this design, as it is well-suited for printing without overhangs.
