Generate Lego-like bricks, plates, and tiles of various sizes.
What I hope sets this apart from other customizable Lego-like bricks available so far is a focus on creating STL files which will print well and fit with other bricks over accuracy to real Lego pieces. This manifests in several ways, including:
1. Minor deviations from real Lego dimensions, in order to improve printer results. Commonly, this shows as thicker cross supports on 1xN bricks and wall thicknesses aligned for common nozzle widths.
2. Studs in real Lego bricks are hollow and open underneath. I find they print better if we render them solid
3. Options in the customizer where you can set small adjustments in the brick based on *your printer* and *your slicer*.
With this in mind, **please read the following sections** before using the customizer. They explain many of the options in more detail. Additionally, **don't blindly download and print the sample STL brick files.** That misses the point of the projec
