@@EthanMallonee Tile in between studs was never illegal, plate in between studs is though. The height of the lego logo on top of the studs interferes with the perpendicular stud and throws it out of system, potentially causing alignment issues.

Thats not what that means at all... Illegal techniques means things that Lego sets would not do and definently Lego sets would not implement the majority of these building techniques. Saying that putting bricks and studs between gaps of lego studs does not damage the Lego makes them "legal building techniques" is extremely incorrect.

@pikminfreak0011

3 жыл бұрын

@@wadewillson9220 Actually they're mostly right, Lego defines an illegal building technique as one which either doesn't maintain a strong enough connection between pieces, or (more commonly) one which causes damage to parts over time. Some techniques which used to be illegal are actually now legal in some contexts, and have even been used in fairly modern sets. For example, revisions to the dimensions of all tile pieces allow them to be wedged between the studs of a plate or brick without any added stress to the part, making this technique legal now. It has been *officially* used in the NASA Apollo Saturn V Rocket set (#92176), and possibly a few others I don't know about. That said, the majority of this video's techniques probably *aren't* considered legal, but in a lot of these cases it would likely be due to a weak bond between the parts, not from any risk of damage. The 8-sided column made with plates, studs and S-Earlings is 100% legal though and was even formerly featured in a video on Lego's website made by one of the Creator set designers (and this was probably a decade ago, mind you).

I can't recall the specific sets, but I feel like I've seen something similar to the last one in official lego sets.

2:07 I've considered using them as tram tracks and they also work in other areas.

2:00 OH, I've done this one before, it's a sliding rail! Line up a bunch of them on 2 plates and you can stick them together for a fixed sliding rail. Yeah it's offset a quarter-stud whichever way you put them together, but it works.

I'm building the ucs ISD right now, and there are some "interesting" techniques used by Lego themselves..... But i guess as long as it works, it's ok.

Some very very interesting techniques! Great!

My music teacher in high school: "Let me first teach you then rules of music, then you can break them."

Ever since i was a kid playing with legos i utilized a LOT of these techniques, things like this are why i find legos great, you can use ingenuity to create virtually anything and since the parts fit together so well in these methods I had always thought they were intended. The 2x1 Grills fitting together like that was great for making objects able to slide across things while also locking in place more than using flat tiles would.

I have actually used the inverted grille technique at 1:55 on a build. It does have some uses, though they are insignificant

Talking about illegal building techniques like the moment you put these pieces together a SWAT team breaks into your house and shoots your dog.

2:00 SpitBrix: "I don't know why anybody would ever do this." Me while Im bored and building something:

There's no such thing as an 'illegal building technique'. There is just you and the Lego and whatever clever ways you think of to combine them.

lol I was just designing something earlier today and couldn’t figure out hot to get a pattern then I get this video with a thumbnail with that exact pattern

As much as I like the idea of the tail lantern (and anything to use up the huge amount of tyres we all have accumulated!!) I feel its application could be a bit limited depending on its clutch power, it might worth trying create a small a spire/tower using 1x8 tiles to extend the design (much like the 1x8 plates using SNOT bricks shown at the of the end video) Really digging the variations of compact anti-stud SNOT bricks - very handy techniques for sure ( 1:10 , 1:20, 2:50 and 4:25 )

I'd explored a lot of these techniques as a child. When you don't have a lot of Lego pieces at your disposal, you have to find new ways to make the design work.

That first creation looked gorgeous!

That last one was actually on the official lego creator website under the Pillar build

The anti stud cube and the cylinder are my favourites

4:44 Ratatouille Lego set revealed

5:14 was actually a technique shown off in one of the older Lego Creator designer tips videos.

I actually used the technique from 2:06 when I was a child to build a minecart system, this was pretty cool :D

You're almost there I know you can get to 500k

The groove "grill" pieces sliding together were ideal for puzzle builds to make interlocking sliding mechanisms that would stay in place without taking up alot of room. It's how I used that.

Love this vid super helpful pls do a pt2

“This is totally breaking the rules” how?! There are no rules to lego the point of lego is to create things as you like or create lego designed sets there are no rules

2:00 This could be used to create something that needs to sit snugly on rails while still sliding. There's most definitely other ways to do it, but if that offset is needed as well, it could be an option.

I don't really have uses for the hand-wall, but it does give me an idea: they kinda look like single turrets or casemates for a small warship model.

The Lego blackmarket really has a high demand for inversion techniques
