In fact, I probably know more adults than kids who enjoy building all sorts of things with the blocks and creating pop culture stuff through the various geeky sets available. Minifigs or minifigures are part and parcel of the Lego craze and we see characters and even customized ones added to scenes and spaces. What if these minifigs can have their own toys as well?<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Lego<\/p>\n<p>Lego has begun experimenting with other manufacturing techniques aside from their time-tested but expensive and time-consuming molding machine process. 3D printing is of course one of the things that they have been toying around with so they will soon be able to create smaller and less-expensive production runs. Back in 2019, they created their first 3D-printed element with limited quantities but only distributed it to those who took the annual Lego Inside Tour. Now they\u2019re making it available to a relatively wider audience and it\u2019s a real cutie: a tiny toy duck for your minifigs.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-407649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/08\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lego\u2019s first 3D-printed element is a toy duck for your minifigs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-407649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/08\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lego\u2019s first 3D-printed element is a toy duck for your minifigs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/1.jpg\">The small plastic red duck is actually a replica of the wooden toy duck that was created by Lego\u2019s founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen. It\u2019s actually not just an \u201cordinary\u201d pet duck for whatever minifig you\u2019re using. When you roll it on a surface, its beak opens and closes. This is because it uses a selective laser sintering process that allows it to have functional, mechanical elements. This is hopefully the first phase towards Lego being able to create more building elements in smaller numbers and at a more affordable price.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-407650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/08\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lego\u2019s first 3D-printed element is a toy duck for your minifigs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-407650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/08\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lego\u2019s first 3D-printed element is a toy duck for your minifigs\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/legos-first-3d-printed-element-is-a-toy-duck-for-your-minifigs\/2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"4dd58ca6f61423ed0d74b709-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"4dd58ca6f61423ed0d74b709-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For now, the 3D-printed plastic red duck will only be available purchase them for a limited time at the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark for around $12.
