Metal Lego Studs
Overview
Completed Fall 2023
These are larger scale Lego studs made as a fun project with some scrap brass stock I found in the shops. The were modeled and programmed in Fusion 360, and machined on a Haas VF4 CNC mill. I used Versa grips to hold the stock in the first operation then machined an aluminum soft jaw to hold the part for the second operation. The studs fit together just like the Lego ones as well, and there is a small magnet added in the base of each one to give a similar snap fit just like the plastic pieces.
