I am a self-proclaimed know-it-all. I will tackle any project regardless of my experience, or lack thereof. Always ready to learn something new. With over 25+ years experience in electronic repair and 10+ years experience in small engine / ATV / motorcycle repair, there is nothing I can't fix, modify or build.
Why a pepper? In case anyone is curious as to why there is a hot pepper embossed into most of my designs... My nickname is Pepper and that little pepper logo is a hell of a lot shorter than "Copyright © 2017 by Derek J.G. Tombrello" which is how I usually sign my work :)

I bought a mini "lego" set for the kids and it has one incompletely molded part. I found your 10x10 model and it fits the same. However we need a 4x8. I've used CAD packages before and just got SolidWorks for Makers, but it imports as one solid object which makes it hard to modify. Any chance you have a "project" file or other format I could work with to make a 4x8? BTW, how did you get the dimensions to make it right in the first place? If you have the original in a SketchUp format I could probably use that to make what I need too.
Thanks!
I modeled the original piece using SketchUp, but while that program works fine for modeling, it sucks for modifying said models. I've since been using FreeCAD. This is the file I use to make these - www.RobotsAndComputers.com/temp/customizable_plate-dist.FCStd ... There is a Spreadsheet in there where you can modify the Width and Length parameters to change the size of the plate generated. Set those to 4 and 8 (or anything else you need) and it will be recaculated for you. You can then export the Array object as an STL that you can print. If you can't get it to work, or can't use the file, let me know and I can generate you a plate.
As for how I got the dimensions.. I just measured an existing piece with cheap Harbor Freight calipers. I plugged those in to the Spreadsheet (you'll see them when you modify the Width and Length) and created a single 1x1 "plate." I've been doing it for a while, so I usually get it pretty close on my first go, but with something this particular, I probably had to print a few before I got the fitting just right.
That is so awesome! Thanks for the quick reply and the file! I ed and installed FreeCAD. I doanloaded and opened the file and generated a 4x8 plate. I exported the STL and have successfully printed the plate. Only thing is, the bottom is solid and not hollow with the "bars" of other elements to help align and connected to another layer/piece. It appears this way in both FreeCAD and the printing software. Is there a programmatic way of handling those elements or do they need to be added manually?
Thanks again for being so helpful with this. Hopefully others will find this helpful as well.
ah... I didn't think about that. Since I was just using it for a BASE plate, I didn't bother creating the matching holes.
Here you go - http://www.robotsandcomputers.com/temp/customizable_plate-wHole.FCStd - since I haven't printed this one, though, you'll need to make sure that the holes are the right size. In the Spreadsheet, I've added "hole_size". I just made it a tad larger than the pins to start with. I'd either print the "Pocket_Hole" object under Body or make a small size plate to test first to make sure it's right. You may need to adjust that parameter to get a good fit. Sorry about that.
