Lego Sorter V2.0 (sorts by size)

[@felixxr6turbo]

Awesome build, love the fit and finish. If anyone was wondering and couldn't be bothered to check out the great plans and convert for themselves, approx metric hole sizes 9mm, 17mm, 24mm, 29mm, 46mm.

[@nse712]

This is the best, most DIY Lego sorter I've seen! Thanks so much for designing, building and making a video of this! And quadruple thank you for sharing your plans! We will be building one of these!

[@petesquared23]

Thanks for the kind words Nikki! 👍

Brick Sorters are for sale on my site: www.petesquared23.com They are $699, labor, materials and CNC time are expensive. Free plans are also on my site if you would like to build one yourself. Thanks for your interest 😀👍

[@Kate-vr5ud]

Shut up and take my money. Honestly, please consider making more and selling them. One of the best concepts I've seen, thank you

[@petesquared23]

Thank you! Unfortunately with labor and materials they would end up costing over $800. I appreciate your interest though 👍

I am sorting Lego as I am watching this. I was thinking of an add on for your system. The small parts are a pain to sort. If you could make a smaller tray to transfer the small pieces in to with a flat botton. This tray would have a slit on opposite sides. One side would only let tiles out. The other side would let plates out. You could take it a step further, and add a V grove to catch rods and technic pins. If you put holes at the end of the V groves, you could tip the tray an collect the parts. This was a very inspiring video. I hope you play with my idea.

[@petesquared23]

Thank you for the great idea! Very interesting idea. I have seen some other sorters on KZbin that use slots and gaps but I think your idea is better 👍😀

[@Sinjinator]

I like this idea too, I’ll build it using Lego! 😂

[@zareenmohsin3467]

This is amazing. Picking Lego out by colour is easier. You don’t spend as much time looking for a colour as you do for shape or size. So this design is very handy as it is. I would order one if it’s sold.

[@petesquared23]

We actually just started production! Online ordering should be up soon. Stay tuned! April Wilkersons company is doing all the manufacturing. Pretty excited! There are some recent KZbin shorts posts with more details 😀👍

[@MrAndrewfreeman]

@@petesquared23 Is there plans to perhaps find someone in europe to make some from the european market? I imagine shipping for that from america would be astronomical!

[@MultiGasmGeek]

Great Video. Awesome build. It's been fun watching you go through the original concept when you started and to see the final result of the V2.0. Looking forward to what ideas come out of your shop.

[@petesquared23]

Thank you for the kind words and support! Very much appreciated 😀

[@yuliyageorgieva7503]

That is just genius! From all I've read and seen it's not so preferred and common to sort by color. Usually, people go by size or function. Your creation can save tons of time and hustle for the whole family! You need to be advertised/affiliated more in all those blogs for organizing where moms with kids who own tons of lego will be able to purchase that from you! Consider it, let it out for sale. If you improve it again, let it out for sale too! Admirations! Keep it up!

Dude, solid build!! Another KZbin maker is working on a Lego sorter and tagged your video. I’m glad I checked it out good video quality the build looks great. I’ll be looking for more, new sub!

[@petesquared23]

Much appreciated! Bob's Lego sorter is very cool. Very honored he game me a mention :) Thanks for the Sub!

[@mungral2560]

great idea. hope the free plans are posted on your site soon.

[@momphard]

We have bins and bins of legos, unsorted. My kids don't build much from scratch because they spend most of their time looking for blocks. Instead, they ask for Legos for birthdays or Xmas, and we add more blocks to the bins. This changes Lego building in more ways than one.

[@petesquared23]

We are in the same situation 😀 thanks for your comment! 👍

[@ewan2mackinnon73]

This is fantastic, just spent several days sat with my daughter sorting Lego by hand

[@annlinden8619]

I neeeeed someone to build this for me please😂. This is such a great bit of kit and I love the idea for tray at bottom to catch all the dirt.

[@woodyinahoodie]

Such a great idea! Amazing video!

[@TinyBasementWorkshop]

Awesome work 😉 !! On the first two filters there seems to be a lot of plane area where smaller pieces might just stay and not drop into a hole to be sorted in one of the lower trays. Doesn‘t seem to be a big deal, but I just wondered if the design of the first trays could be modified to a more dense filter with big holes.

[@petesquared23]

That’s a good idea. Maybe for version 3.0 😀

[@maeleighrandolph6465]

Yes, and also with it smaller holes in the first layer, along with the bigger ones, so more chances for the pieces to fall through

[@saturninojimenez1152]

I believe you brotha

[@johannesbeugler7212]

Love it! Great Work!

[@petesquared23]

Thank you for your support Johannes! 👍

[@punkrockviking]

Okay so after the pain of trying to sort the kids Legos today I'm convinced I need this. I'm going to build it but don't have a CNC. I noticed your plans say 1:4 scale in the pdf. So I guess I'll print it at full scale and lay the paper down to see where I need to drill the holes

[@petesquared23]

Just put out a new KZbin short video. Looking into manufacturing these for sale. More info on how to order coming soon if your interest 😀👍

When will the plans for the “Brick Sorter Large” be availeble?

[@jaceks1962]

great work

[@BenRyherd]

Great build! and I like the dirt sieve idea, I was wondering why you had a tray with holes smaller than the 1x1 bricks. Also, on your corner joints, how'd you get the "fingers" rounded like that? did you have to do some 3D contouring on the CNC or did you just sand them half round by hand?

[@petesquared23]

Thank you! Yes on doing the CNC contouring. It took extra time but was fun to figure out 😀

[@rstrouts]

Organize Lego room, table and/or area for *ease of use* when building rather than for storage or display?

So how did you determine the hole size? Trial and error? Math?

[@petesquared23]

We did some research on the most common bricks then measured them diagonally from two furthest corners. Then did a lot of trial and error ⭐️😂

What's the risk of damaging pieces using this kind of system? For example scratches or dints
