Type the number of any building set. You get every part in it, a print file for each part you can 3D print at home, and a shopping list for the rest. Free, no account.
Look up a set or a part
Test data: the parts database isn't connected on this computer yet, so this is a made-up example, not a real set.
Pro also includes the downloads for scanned models. Building instructions for the set aren’t included: use the ones from your box.
Not sure? Ten small plates marked 1 to 5 dots. Pick the number on the one that clicks on firmly and still pulls off by hand. Applies to every download below. Fit adjusts the studs and the holes that grip them on parts printed the way up they are moulded. It does not change pins, axles, or the parts printed turned onto another face (about a third of the printable parts: the print list says which, in its fit column).
The free ZIP has an stl folder with one file per part, a by-colour folder and the lists. The print-ready pack adds the plates and the printing guide. Print one part first to check the fit.
Need filament? The weights above assume PLA, 1.75 mm. Find PLA filament on Amazon. We may earn a commission if you buy.

How it works
Type the set number. It’s on the box and on the instructions.
See what to print and what to buy. Plain bricks, plates and beams go on the print list. Clear, printed, rubber, electric and very thin parts go on the buy list.
Download. Free print files for your 3D printer and a shopping list for the rest. Optional: the print-ready pack (plates and a printing guide), part of Brickalike Pro.
What a finished build can look like
AI illustrations of four sets, made from their parts lists. Examples of the idea, not photos of what your printed parts will look like.

What the words mean
Print
A part you can make on a home 3D printer.
Buy
A part that’s better bought: clear, printed, rubber, electric or very thin.
Can’t convert
We couldn’t make a print file for it, so buy it instead.
Spares
The extra small bits that come in the box. They’re left out of the shopping lists.
STL
The 3D print file for one part.
3MF plate
A whole print bed laid out with parts, ready to print. Opens in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer. Part of the print-ready pack, in Pro.
Slicer
The app that gets a file ready for your 3D printer, like Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or Cura.
CSV
A spreadsheet file. Opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
Shopping list (BrickLink)
A file you upload on BrickLink.com, a big online shop for single bricks (Want, then Upload). BrickLink then shows the shops that sell the parts. Each part to buy also has its own BrickLink link in the table.
How we decide what to print and what to buy
The first rule that matches a part decides. Anything not on the print list goes to the buy list, because buying a small part costs cents and a failed print costs hours.
Your own object in bricks
Scan something with your phone, or load a 3D file, and see it as a brick model with a parts list. The preview is free.
Part shapes: LDraw Parts Library (CC BY 4.0). Built-model pictures: made from models in the LDraw Official Model Repository (CC BY 2.0), with each author named under the picture. Parts data: Rebrickable. Independent project, not sponsored, authorised or endorsed by any brick company.
