Hey is anyone planning on making one? Id be down to make one or help pay to lower costs. My ideal one would be 2 bricks at a time, mouldable so you can make interlocking, regular rectangle, pavers and perhaps roof tiles. The other thing would be nice if you could add a $99 press (electric would be nice but probably not strong enough or would burn out) but not sure if thats possible or another way so it could be upgradable. Id be down to help design and fabricate however I can help I am good with 3d modeling, cad plans and design. Would like to make one this spring and it would be great if we could do it for real inexpensive so I could start making them for good causes. Thanks!

Hey everyone sorry for reviving an old post. I am going to order a Cinva ram from the new place on this thread today can't wait to put it together!

Before I order it. I was wondering if anyone might be up to help me with some design changes...

I am looking to add 2 holes in it and also make the brick more lego like or ability to put molds in there to make different bricks like ones that save dirt/pavers etc.?

It seems to make it lego like we might be able to add an addition to the closing plate on the top to make the shape. For the holes I think I have seen it where the bottom plate has 2 holes cut there and then below it there are 2 metal cyclinders that are roughly same hole size that are welded to the bottom of the press and go to the top cap plate. This allows the press the press the brick but still have it come out with 2 holes (so you can fill with rebar and concrete for a stronger wall). The final addition I am looking to make is a wider press that can make 2 bricks at once and even better a hopper design for above to make making the brick easier. I have the sketch up file and I am thinking about making some modifications, but since I have never made one of these before I am a little weary. If anyone has time and willing to consult with getting updated plans to do this I would be willing to pay a little money for the help . I am hopefully closing on a house today and thinking about going crazy with ceb to make a retaining wall, grill area/patio, fence, shed, and maybe even a pool or hottub if I can do it.

If anyone has plans for lego blocks with holes or a 2 at a time machine with hopper I'd totally be willing to pay for that and try to make one. I might just start with this simple machine first and go from there but the other side of me says slow down design a better one and my back will thank me later Any help would be much appreciated thanks!
