Summary

I came across casadebricks_com's Lego minifigure hex displays and found them useful, but wanted more flexibility, plus the ability to create veneers/half-hexes as included in the original by AJsRaceway.

Fortunately, AJsRaceway's design was customizable. Unfortunately, for me:

  • it did not allow for multiple hexes in one print (honeycomb)
  • it didn't allow for open sections for large objects (e.g., TheOldy's remix for wide figures, aka "hollowcombs"
  • it only did the top half as half-hexes
  • the veneers fit together great in interior angles, but left little gaps in the corners for exterior angles.

So I tried to refactor and modify the original to meet all the needs above. This customizer now creates:
-arbitrarily wide/tall honeycombs
-arbitrarily wide/tall hollowcombs
-top and bottom half-hexes
-veneers that overhang one or both adjacent edges

If the specific configuration you need isn't available, try the customizer and see if you can make it there.
