@@TheETLProductions Yeah, it sucks. Anything that doesn't have COPPA included is immediately blocked, even though we're high-schoolers. But I guess it's for the best interests of the younger students in the district.

Custom prints are pretty easy but making entirely new pieces is very difficult, I’m still going to try and learn how to (and it won’t be on Mecabricks). So if I figure it out I’ll be sure to make a tutorial on it!
nice tutourial, only thing is when i search my part and select a color the decorate option doesnt show up. im not sure if the part im using works, but please help because im trying to make a custom print on a round piece. the piece number is 30151v1
So, once you’ve custom designed your mini figure graphics…how could you then make this a real figure? By ordering custom parts then somehow printing off the design on a sticker? Or is there an easy way to upload your entire custom mini figure online to get it made? Many thanks,
Hi ! Great video ! But idk why when I do the same thing than you there's a problem to import the image and mecabricks display a red cross next to the file name. Is there someone to help me please ?
There are many companies that provide custom printing services for LEGO, such as eclipse grafx and the minifig co. I'm unsure of how expensive it is to print from them but you do have to contact the companies to get pieces printed!
I managed to make my own torso but but when I go back in to make an arm piece it says the configuration file doesn't exist, and I can't make another piece. Can anyone help?

Dude the only problem is that i made a very detailed design and when i tried to render it into the 3D model it said the maximum allowed is 1 MB and i had to erase my entire design, please try being more specific
I am having a problem with doing multiple custom torsos. It keeps saying that the piece 3814 can't be used because the reference is alrady in use. How do I solve this?
There’s an area that says “reference” in the parts maker, it’s basically an alternate name that you have to type in order for it to be created. I hope this helps.
@@TheETLProductions thanks! Im working on an updated Indiana Jones, and I was really struggling to find the templates. I almost forgot to thank you by the time I had finished the main torso, face, and legs! I did have another question, how to you make multiple custom torsos? When i try to make another under the 3814 number, it says that the piece is already in use.
Thanks, this really helped. Now, if my school server would just let MecaBricks through the darn firewall!
No problem. Dang, you gotta love school fire walls...

@@rubberscuomo I’m lucky I could use mecabricks at school
Thankfully my school allows it when it literally doesn’t even allow youtube
@@sirwheeljackimusiii4588 That’s unfortunate. Good thing my school is limited enough for our chrombooks, etc..
I love these Mecabricks tutorials! You always do a good job with them!
Thanks so much!

Very helpful video can you make custom helmet designs too on mecabricks?
Great tutorial! You explained everything really well!!
Thanks I’m happy everything was understandable!
This is pretty wild
@ETL Productions "Krita" Actually means crayon or Cretacious in swedish, So it does make sense for a drawing program to be named crayon
Awesome work
This looks interesting 🤔
Great tutorial dude!
Can i ask one thing? Can we custom/design our own headgear/headpiece in this software?
yes
Hey I was wondering so you make your figure, can you print it so you physically can own it or is there a way to physically own a minifigure you create
I’m trying to figure that out to. How do we create a physical mini fig?
Amazing tutorial! Thank you so much for the walk through.
Awesome video
Can you do a tutorial on how to make custom pieces please?
Custom prints are pretty easy but making entirely new pieces is very difficult, I’m still going to try and learn how to (and it won’t be on Mecabricks). So if I figure it out I’ll be sure to make a tutorial on it!
Nice and clear tutorial thank you!

Thank you I was so confused
Whenever I uploaded my file onto the uv it changed the material color back to white, any idea why and how I can change it back to black?
What site do you use to draw the torso?
I just wanna know how to find the minifigure pieces that people created tbh..
I't won't let me use configuration, do you know why it might be?
Hey, great video, where do you get the colour pallet image from? thanks
I just searched “official LEGO color palette” on Google!
Hey man, I tried to go to custom like you said in the first 2 minutes of the tutorial but its grayed out. any reason or fix?
can you also do that with already done custom prints from the internett?
Ye you just need the picture of the custom one you want
Omg bro THANK YOU
How do you make custom prints for heads?
Download the UV layout for piece 3626!
Great tutorial! Really told me how to do it well! One small issue… you know the fill tool exists right
This video is pretty old now, I did eventually figure out the fill tool haha
Do you do commissions?
I'm very new to the platform and it might take me too long to do what I want to get accomplished

Actually I just figured it out! You need to make an account
Is there any way to this on Ms paint or paint 3D?
Thanks! But I’ve run into a problem. I can’t change the color of the torso :(
I honestly don’t know how to fix that, sorry!

Are you able to do the same with hairs because when I tried the decorate option didn't come up
Sadly hairpieces do not work (but some helmets do in case you're interested)
Why i cant touch the custom button
how to do this with heads
When do you think you’ll get monetized?
It’ll be a while, maybe Spring or Summer? I just hit 2,000 watch hours yesterday so I only need to double that!
Did you actually make this?
Yes
Is there a way to get a texture of an existing part like the texture of a head that was already printed? Im having some trouble with that
Yes you can! Just click Export > collada (.dae) > unzip the file
It worked!!!
there is no plus at my mecabricks website...
How do you match up the torso print with the hips and legs prints?
You click the orange dot on the hips whenever you choose a torso.
Dude the only problem is that i made a very detailed design and when i tried to render it into the 3D model it said the maximum allowed is 1 MB and i had to erase my entire design, please try being more specific
I had no clue that would happen. It’s never happened to me. I hope it works the next time, sorry!

Wait so does it stay online or can u buy it and order it too ur house
It stays online
I can't click on the custom button
how do you mske custom prints for hgrid's torso?
I don’t think Mecabricks allows custom prints for that piece.
can you do the same with helmets
Yea! It just depends. Some helmets allow custom prints some don’t
@@TheETLProductions can you do it on boba fett helmet
man but the ipad part because i have an ipad and idk about it
When I try to add the picture of the torso it never loads
Whenever you render the piece in the part manager?
@@TheETLProductions no the file I put in as the print
@@Snowmaster0 hey, did you ever figure it out? it doesn't work for me either.
@@_Gh0st3_ same here, really want to figure this out
When I try to press custom in parts it doesn't work
It wont work if you don’t have an account
My question is, what if it says error when you try to render?
The render engine is very likely offline, so you may have to save your project and render it later!
Why are mine chrome?
But I can’t click custom
how to do da head :(
Can anyone help with helmet customs? When I put in the number nothing shows.
Some pieces don’t work for custom prints, sorry!
@@TheETLProductions ahhhhh makes sense thanks!
this is hypothetical: say i want to do a german WW2 torso would they do something about that?
You can make it if you’d like! The wonders of Mecabricks don’t have an anti military policy or anything like that!
@@TheETLProductions Thank you so much!
ok fine it was too specific and yes it wasn't hypothetical
ETL productions can you make custom prints for stormtrooper helmets on mecabricks?
I've done it before on clone helmets so I'm pretty sure you can with stormtrooper helmets, but I don't believe they exist in Mecabricks sadly.
