Introduction: How to cut a Lego baseplate
Some use hot wire for melting and cutting, but it’s difficult to navigate and, if done incorrectly, will result in wrinkles around the edge of the baseplate. One of the easiest methods I’ve used is using a cutter and a steel ruler. The whole process took less than 15 minutes.
You can use either a craft knife or a sharp utility knife for this part. Press the knife blade down and against the LEGO bricks to make the cut as straight as possible. It helps to put your other hand on the bricks to keep them from moving.
The appropriate glue for repairing a LEGO table depends on the material of the table. For example, wood glue works well for wooden tables. After the table is stable and the reattached parts are glued and dried, sand down any rough spots to create a smooth surface ready for painting.
All you have to do is run hot tap water over the opposite side of the bend. This flattens the baseplate.
Baseplates for the regular LEGO® bricks come in a few different colors and sizes. Check out our LEGO® Classic theme to try them all. The gray baseplate is the largest and measures 48 x 48 studs or 15 inches (38cm) x 15 inches (38cm). The others are 32 x 32 studs or 10 inches (25cm) x 10” (25cm).
They have been included first in LEGO Dots sets and then in LEGO Art Mosaic sets to help with a more accurate ’tiling operation’ to get to the one pin that may have fallen off is. (And yes, the first one is just a pearl gold minifigure crowbar – hey, if it works, it works!)
Each baseplate can be stacked vertically using Stackers to build a tower, garage, castle or as a base for endless creations.
