How it works

The Machine starts by poring P.O.P. Into the mold. Real Legos use ABS plastic but BM1.0 uses Plaster of Paris. The robot waits 6 minutes to dry,. Unlike the real robot witch self cools the brick molds in less than 10 seconds. The the Mold ejector removes the brick from the mold and the brick falls into a bin were it can be transported all over the world.

Mold and Poorer

There is a cup inside wher the P.O.P is stored.when the prog starts, it pores Plaster Of Paris into the mold, where it is dried. Once dried, the Mold ejector ejects the brick and the brick rolls into a bin where it can be put on a train or plane. The mold is made out of clay and the poorer is a cup.

The Final Product

Once the brick(s) has ejected, you can play with them. Although they don't have a bottom, you can still attach other bricks to there top.

Here is a Video.

Concludion

Although these bricks are kind of useless, it was still fun learning about how real legos are made and how to try to replicate that. I hope you enjoyed my presentation.

  • I like this project a lot. A cool way to make bricks! If you make a 2.0, you should have the bricks have a legitimate bottom too. Good job!

  • You should make the 2.0 mold be sideways so you can create a bottom for the brick and pour it into the side of the brick.
