yeah I was grimacing at the partlist, but I think I'd still do it
I haven't meaningfully touched lego in like 15y and haven't engaged with basically any of the starwars-y or latter-decades kits at all. but for this.. it'd make a hell of a sweet display piece
I really hope the complexity doesn’t make it a no-go for Lego — honestly this is one of the only times I’d be in support of custom pieces if it makes assembly easier or the machine more durable
I haven’t really engaged with Lego at all since I got into 3D printing, but them going “fuck it we’ll do mechanical computation” would definitely pull me back in. this is exactly the kind of thing that’d be a major pain to do with printed parts, where consistent and durable standardized parts would do a lot better
