# Background

## Design

Dimensions and more information about Lego and Duplo bricks can be found

at .

If you cut material you must think about the width of cuts, for instance

laser cutters burn away some material. I expect this to be about 0.25mm,

so I'd naturally get the required gap between parts.

Unfortunately I have not found a satisfying CAD software for 2D design,

so I started with Inkscape.

You can use any stable material but plywood might be the best choice.

2mm, 3mm, 4mm.

## Production

Either you have access to a 3D-printer, 2D-Cutter etc. or you must order the

parts at some service. I tried [formulor].

# Contents

* `templates` contains template files from [formulor]/[ponoko] for 2D-cutting

   and an overview of build area sized compared to a duplo grid (`grid.pdf`)

* `marble-track` contains my first experiment, derived from 

   to be printed at formulor.
