Custom brick model gift ideas

Personalised brick gift ideas that work well

• A favourite mug or cup. Note the camera scan fills in the inside, so it becomes a solid mug shape.
• A pet's favourite toy, or a pet figurine. A live pet won't hold still for a scan; a 3D scan app that captures quickly is a better bet.
• Keepsakes and ornaments that fit on a table: a trophy, a shoe, a plant pot, a model house.
• Fruit and food make fun first builds, like the avocado above.

Choose things with a clear shape that stand out from the background. Very thin parts simplify, because bricks have a minimum size.

Three ways to give a custom brick model

1. Print it in one piece and give the model. See brick STL.
2. Give the building project: the manual and parts list, so they build it from real bricks. See building manual.
3. Print the brick kit for someone with patience: separate bricks to click together (expect to tune your printer).
