Types of videos like these are hard to find in the Lego KZbin Community nowadays because of the new mr beastification style of videos, but I'm glad some Lego KZbinrs is still do unique and authentic videos like you!. Keep it up! :)

[@bricksculpt]

Thank you so much for the awesome compliment. And I totally agree with you about videos these days.

[@udime123]

As a Bionicle guy, I especially really love this piece because nearly every CCBS shell and prefab Bionicle armour has a little rod hole, and prior to this piece coming out there were very few uses for that connection. Now I can put anything on there, from simple decorative studs to entire brick built armor shells!

[@curtisleblanc5897]

Prefab?

[@udime123]

@@curtisleblanc5897 That's what we call the typical large limb pieces that come in a typical Bionicle set (in other words, a section of the build that is all one big piece)

[@VortexBricks]

You can put the flame in the pin holder upside down and I liked using it as a tiny torch for figures, specifically with the plume and not the candle flame

[@bricksculpt]

Yeah ive done that also i should have added that to the video!

[@SirMola742]

This piece also allows you to attach clip pieces(like droid arms, skeleton arms, or exo-force robot arms) to a snot brick. Want arms on a brickbuilt robot? incorporate a snot stud where you want the arm to go, stick this piece on, then stick on a droid arm. Star wars pit droids (bricklink minifig id sw1119) are an example of this. Their legs are also a great usage example for the pneumatic tube t-bar piece Another use is to stick the bar in hole on the underside of the 1X3 inverted tile (part id 35459). this is how the head-neck connection on unikitty (and variations) works, and is probably the reason that part has that ugly hole in the first place.

[@bricksculpt]

Good point they work great with droid arms!

[@joshuanelsonanimations]

The smallest propeller piece (usually used for propeller hats) also fits nicely on this piece for a miniature airplane. It was built that way in the bookshop modular building.

[@bricksculpt]

I have done that before! Thats a great application.

[@LordShrub]

My favorite use for this part is making scroll 📜 ends.

[@bricksculpt]

I like that! What do you use for the scroll?

[@Reegeed]

@@bricksculpt if the scroll is used as part of a bigger sculpture like a person holding it from both ends you can try using white car door pieces aligned to create one continous piece of paper (its more of a guess im not sure if rod piece or other piece would be the right length to connect two doors by anti stud so it probably wouldneed to be 3 door wide or use stud instead witg rod sticking out of it to mimic this piece)

[@jaumeroca9612]

Love that piece. The other day I used two of them with a 1x2 round plate with holes (35480) and a pair of downwards 2x1 brackets (99781) to conect two platea with a distance of 1,5 studs. Great vídeo!

I love this piece, from quill holders for Harry Potter to a neat way to store my spare lightsabers. My favourite moc featuring them was a bouldering wall using this piece for some of the holds because minifigs can grab on to them

I love that. Im working on a climing wall build right now and hadnt thought to use them. I will have to incorperate them!

I had this piece in an advent calendar and i always take the extra pieces and try to connect all of them together. This piece tho was interesting because i could just barely get a ski pole piece to fit in the pin holder, probably illegal but makes a cool antenna.

[@Filolia]

One of the most creative ways I've seen this piece used was in a MOC that has elevation, you can put down these pieces on strategic places and lay an baseplate ontop of it! The baseplate won't slide around due to the small holes on the bottom, and keeps the MOC modular as you can easily lift it off!

[@Fazbearentertainment00]

I love using these as infinity stone holders

[@dl_bricks]

Loving this series; keep up the good work. I'd be curious what you could come up with the classic Lego mug.

This piece also works with clips! In some speed champions sets I built recently, I remember attaching some small panels using the clip connection to get a perfect angle in a small space

[@bricksculpt]

Yes thats a great application!

[@travertinepico751]

I use them with a 2x2 round dish piece over the bar and a flame piece inserted into the pin hole as a torch that goes on top of a column to light a walkway, courtyard etc in my medieval Mocs

[@bricksculpt]

I like that a lot

[@yolomationanimation9784]

There’s a specific small propeller that’s used on Lego propeller Mario, and I think it’s the perfect size for small minifig RC planes or remote submersibles. I love using that itty bitty propeller lol

[@bricksculpt]

Yeah thats a great application!

[@StoneCresent]

I've used this piece as part of several microscale MOCs. Of those that I can recall, I've used 20482 as the base of/part of a ship mounted crane, a detail piece of a ship, and as wheels for trucks as well as for a gyrocopter. Also, I may have seen them be used to represent machine guns that stick out of the wings of WWII fighters.

[@bricksculpt]

I made a microcopter with thus piece and the blade from a lego drone!

I lost my childhood set of Lego and am getting back into it, by buying sets and hopefully lottos. These videos are awesome man.

[@ivi_bit]

On a bigger scale, these are good for paralel building, symetric antistud builds on top of a core of these with the 1x1 open plates or the other lenghts, as well as to make invertded builds that are able to connect on a regular baseplate

[@KangMinseok]

I love building hands for Bionicle Toa with them.

[@WilsTube]

i love that piece too

[@Justlovedolls2024]

Place 4 of these down on each corner of a 16x16 plate and tile two rows across in the middle with equal spacing, then add a 16x16 base plate on top. These spacing with the pegs allows the base plate to work in system without issues.

[@bricksculpt]

I love that idea. I have seen this done before but never tried it myself.

[@reddblackjack]

Ah, climbing wall handhold. I've been thinking about making one of those too but on a sideways mounted baseplate using snot tech. It could be done with slopes, inverted slopes and SNOT too.

[@bricksculpt]

Cool idea!

This piece put under a baseplate will make the top of the baseplate 2 high. It can help if you've built on baseplates and don't want to migrate to plates for whatever reason.

[@legojedi328]

I use this piece to attach minifigures with scuba flippers to display bases

[@bricksculpt]

I like that idea a lot! Thanks for the tip!

[@SKYeung-ts3vk]

If you love to convert all your modular to MILS but don’t have the time to do so, use regular brick build a of 32 by 32, preferably have something in the middle, use as many as you see fit, especially the four corner, and you could now attach this new grid in the bottom of the a regular baseplate which normally can’t do much with it

[@bricksculpt]

Yeah im going to play around with that in a future video. Do you think its legal?

[@SKYeung-ts3vk]

@@bricksculpt not sure about the legality on this, but if you give it a try on a baseplate, it will click on all 4 corner, but not so much on the other hole, so it may not be legal, I used this method when I build a bottom structure for the avenger tower which is already in MILS, I put these little guy on the roof just to lock the avenger tower on top of it

[@spencernaugle]

The first time I saw one of these pieces it was by itself, so without that context I had no idea that it was Lego.

[@reddblackjack]

These are so great that it's a wonder why we didn't have them in the nineties or eighties. I call them nipples for personal shorthand but I don't use them as any kind of mammalian mammary part. And simply for appropriate content, I'll stop there. I like to use these for squirt bottles tops on round 1x1 bricks. White on white as mayo for a sandwich station. And the burger truck has them for ketchup and mustard. But yeah I put it on a headlight brick for stud reversal and with a 1x1 cone upside down you can make a nice stemware glass for your dining room table. Or inside a hot tub as a water jet nozzle. I've been thinking about making a pipe organ with bazookas and they might be useful for manipulating the height of some pipes. I like how the top fits in hollow studs. Oooh, on a Minifigure gun with those it'll make a good hopper for a paintball gun look. On dishes to make marching cymbals. Thanks John Phillip Sousa for adding the sound of those to the national anthem. An inverted tile can be held by a Minifigure with one...... That's plenty, gotta run.

[@reddblackjack]

So that hopper idea I had was good and since it was inspired today, what other kinds of things have hoppers. A piece of kitchen equipment, meat grinders, sausage stuffers, Cuisinarts use them to feed cheese to a shredding blade. A grass seed spreader like I used last night. A small funnel or the bottom of a pancaker. Not actually sure the proper term for those. But in a breakfast kitchen the guy running the griddle grabs it, squeezes the handle three times and makes a perfectly portioned and round pancake. I worked at a place for four years that made plate sized pancakes that took two steady hands, big scrapers and a load of practice to flip. .... sidetracked. Pancake thingy. An upside down nipple on a round with a handle. Coffee cup probably won't work but there are parts that will. Sprayer tips for a carwash or old-school (Atari style!) joystick. Some vehicle sets use them as controle sticks. Those might have worked in my glass armonica. The one with 17 2x2 round dishes all different colors. One on each end stuck in a friction free technic pin/stud connection.. LS blade on the other side to spin it with it like thread. It would be a great piece for the deposition tip of a 3D printer MOC. Or a factory style nozzle above a conveyor belt. The modular space station and construction mech use them as a way to connect arms to a 1x1 super SNOT. A brick built fire hydrant. Three on 2x2 round bricks with technic hole. Jeez the ideas are flowing. Any piece that serves as a transition from one type of connection to another gets my vote. Such as the one with a bar , a technic pin, and a hollow stud. I'll figure out what its number is, but that's one of the most useful looking pieces. Literally almost anything can be given a handle with it. The simple 1x1 clips (All of them) are great. And good old fashioned up/down hinges. You can pop 1x2s or 2x2s in and angle it anyway you want and use it for either shape or motion and is a classic. Versatile as heck!

[@bricksculpt]

[@MadMal2024]

The pin hole is the right size to take some very thin copper pipe (1.5mm outside diameter. Temu in their el Railway acce4ssories do some really tiny wired LED lights. The warm white with the clear version of this piece can be used to house the LED. the wires go down the pipe and through a second one of these pieces(Solid colour) and a solid single stud forms the top of the street lamp. To power this will necessitate doing something Lego would find horrifying... Drilling a hole through the centre of the stud on a Flat board or Base plate so you can wire a battery or such. But if you are building a piece of street scenery for a Railway set up... A justifiable c4rime perhaps. I got a few of these pieces in a bag full of Lego parts from a charity shop. And they helped me light up a model build I recently finished making... maybe Lego might come up with their own solution to do what I did; it would make for some interesting build kits. Turn a Build into a Night Light for a kids room... Just a thought.. Another idea; the pinhole part that sticks up... A mini figure hand can hold this... A Lego Waiter minifigure complete with serving tray?

[@bricksculpt]

I have never played with lighting but it intrigues me. Sounds like a good piece for the job. Love the minifig hand point also.

the stud reversal is my favorite application with the 1x2 oblong with 2 holes. Is it 2.5 plates tall, though?

[@bricksculpt]

Yeah good point 2.5 thickness can be limiting for some uses.

[@Klaevin]

@@bricksculpt I don't have my pieces with me, but I think that a headlight piece would make a 3.5 late wide stud reverser with this piece. 2 on either side of a technic bushing would also make a 3,5 plate long stud reverser. The smallest piece I can think of, that would be a whole number of plates long, would be a technic axle connector, which would make a 7 plate long stud reverser. You could make an 8 plate long one, if you used the pin equivalent to the previously mentioned piece, with 2 stud pins in either end. If you used a single technic stud pin with one of these pieces on tech side, wouldn't that be a 5 plate wide stud reverser?

[@bricksculpt]

I would have to try it. Odd numbers can be tricky depending what you are trying to build. Thanks for your input!

[@Stereomoo]

@@Klaevin The stud on headlight bricks is unfortunately a full-height stud so you don't even get a neat number, it's a tiny bit more than 3.5. I don't know offhand which pieces do have half-plate tall studs, it's definitely something to be aware of. The "1x1 technic brick" is already a 2.5 plate reverser, though of course it's got its own tricky tiny offset.
