# Brick Monorail
|

|

Parametric Lego-compatible monorail tracks, designed specifically for 3d printing.
|

|

Since the parts are made parametric, you can have any length or curve radius you want,
|
||||
but these are the original tracks you can replicate

Injection molding has vastly different requirements to 3d printing.

Surfaces printed on supports just never look good.

|

Because of that, I decided to instead of having a support part on the bottom, I'd carve out space for

two stacked 1x2 plates, as well as a special two-high printable brick you can use for compatibility with the

old support mounts.
|

a 1x2 plate, which you can fit there for the same effect.

|

The monorail tracks are also solid now, which is not something you can do in injection molding but leaves
|

a really nice surface finish at the bottom of the rail for us.

_These are 3d printing optimized, compatible rails, not replicas. Replicas print horribly due to support._
