RE: Is 3D Printing Lego Blocks Illegal? (Please Don't Sue!)

Oy, trademark laws and such are a pain in the ass. Obviously, LEGO wants to keep as much business as they can for themselves (they're a for-profit company, after all, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that), but the idea of trademarking or copyrighting a shape seems a little over the top.

I was engaged in a build over the weekend when I realised I needed a lego-compatible-brick-shape that doesn't exist. I am going to 3d print it and be happy with it.

If I can get the !$#^&@% 3d printer to work.
