you could break the pin on the regular 1x2, is that cool whit lego people? modifying pieces?

I don’t think your double turn table/ double 2x2 jumper plates are exactly 45 degrees. Since they both pivot on one connection point they are probably pivoted at slightly different angles meaning they aren’t lined up perfectly on the 45 degree angle

Form: #14a Function: #39a Favorite: #35a

With a tolerance of 0.1% of a stud, A 576-stud wall will connect at 45 degrees to a 408 x 408 plate. If you want 0.01% stud tolerance, you can connect a 8,119-stud wall at 45 degrees to a 5,741 x 5,741 plate.

To achieve a 45 degree angle, you can also use a 135 degree technic connector.

The pattern does not repeat, but just follow this simple rule for adding more and more length: if you use a 1x1 single stud tile and the previous brick interferes, use a 2x2 single stud tile instead. if you use a 2x2 single stud tile and there is still interference, use a no-stud 1x1 tile to make more room, and use a 1x1 single stud after. This method also works with ingot tiles and 2x1 tiles.

As another Lego UA-camr likes to say... Mind blown! I never saw this coming.

So cool! I need to use this technique in a moc some day! How did you come up with this?

actually a game breaking discovery, so glad i found this channel

Nice video, interresting techniques for building at odd angles. We actually used lego for math and later physics in my schools when I was a kid. But ok, I also live in Denmark, the land paved in LEGO :P

Dang you are progressing fast with these techniques! Keep cooking!

With this you can reach almost any angle.

Can you try and make round tower with 1x2 bricks and 1x1 round bricks and demonstrate how to attach it in a stanę way to a baseplate. I build my own but I am not totally happy how it turned out - it is not very stable connection. I can't post picture here to show how ugly it is 🤣

i hate √2

next step is to connect this wall to a "straight" one with a minimal gap (creating a 135 degrees angle between two walls) and I can start planning my project I was holding off because I couldn't figure out 45 degrees angles. Thank you a lot!

so they always have to be some shade of transparent blue?

I wonder if they have a book or some website that can share all techniques?????

It's 3am watching this. I had no clue where you were going with that plate structure, and when you threw down the transparent bricks without center posts in the bottom I literally shouted "OH MY GOD!" Nice job~!

You know the bricks with no pin in the bottom also come in 1x4 and 1x6 versions, right? I'm sure you do. So, I wonder what you could find to do with those in the mix.

Dec. 2024. Brick Sculpt does 'Tub Thumping'. Even Rick teeters some during the red and white wine choices...

I never had those transparent bricks in my own collection, but my grandmother happened to have them and I remember always wondering what applications the sliding aspect of them could hold.

This exact technique was used in the Ninjago City Gardens set

There are also some older 2x1 pieces that don't have the central pin thing, I think

first time seeing this. mind blown. life changed forever. instant sub.

Holy Brick! That is the coolest technique I’ve ever seen in LEGO. I already have an idea for my next build.

Super awesome building technique.

Old Modulex bricks were made like the transparent parts, probably for the same reason?!

love your vids man

It was that shrimple the whole time! 😮

That's sick! I've never seen this technique before, thanks for sharing!

I forgot that those transparent bricks are totally hollow inside. Good catch! This is an elegant solution.

I wrote this as a reply comment, but I wanted to make sure that I could share the idea with others. If you put the studs in an X, building the foundation from the center of the X outwards, you'll have four lines where you can connect your structure to the ground, instead of only one side of your structure.

If you replicate your diagonal pattern over and over again you discover the pattern is irregular; and you just don't have enough pieces on it yet to demonstrate it. I get exactly how this works and why.

Can we please see the angle of the first technique measured. I feel it probably isn’t exactly 45 degrees

Genius

Me: There's no way this works, it's mathematicaly impossible. Him: *Pulls out transparent bricks* Me: GODDAMN THE ANSWER HAS BEEN ALWAYS THERE!!!

you made 1 45 angle i understand what the idea is it is an interesting 45 degrees angle but so many connection points 4 would probably suffice why 10

infinit motion is a little over stepping 360 degrees motion foresure but yes i agree anywhere along the stud which also means at some point it comes to an end there fore not infintite

Very cool! You asked what would happen if you extended the pattern of 1x1 bricks and 2x2 jumpers. Turns out, there is NO repeating pattern that will work forever. Eventually, one of the base studs would hit the edge of a 1x2 brick. The reason is simple... sqrt(2) is irrational! You could continue this method forever, swapping between 1x1 and 2x2 bricks when you need to, there just wouldn't be a repeating pattern.

2:25 that’s racist

That's amazing!

As soon as you brought out the 1x2 bricks, I knew where this was going. Finally, my PAB Wall horde of 1x2 Trans Red Bricks is useful for something!

For the love of bricks, just use a F ing turntable.

Awesome stuff

With that pattern, every 4x4 square has three studs. If you're placing 1x2's diagonally, it would be 2sqrt(2) = 2.82843 studs, so you can't extend it like that forever. But that doesn't really matter. You could change the pattern in places, or just leave out transparent bricks when they don't line up.

a long time ago, LEGO made 1x8 bricks without the tubes that get in the way, i found some on craigslist a couple years back and just now realized how useful they are THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME

Is this a running series? Lego boomer vs the impossible √2?

You're right that the grid can work forever, but there is no repeating pattern. It's likely something calculable though.

Basically with this you can make nearly any angle...

But does it work for four walls? Or are we going to be off center?
