Vex Gear to Lego Converision

thingiverse

This is a Vex 60 tooth gear (From Vex IQ site) combined with a Lego 6x6 round plate (from Pick-a-Brick) conversion piece. At our elementary school we use both and I wanted to make a few conversion pieces to combine them. I adjusted sizes to make the Lego bricks fit tight and filled in the Vex gear to avoid supports for the bottom and to better attach to the Lego plate. I've made over 40 of these for class and they've come out well. You may need to adjust the stud sizes depending on your printer and material, as Lego has a small tolerance for gaps. NOTE: Depending on your printer, you may need to clean the first layer of plastic around the holes on the bottom and around the gears. I squish my first layer down because it has a bit of detail that needs to stick, but then I cut that lip off.
