In the GDR and the USSR, a children’s building set called Grossblock was quite popular. It was produced from 1970 to 1989 by the factory VEB Plastspielwaren (Plaspi) in the town of Waltershausen, Thuringia, GDR.
Today, it’s hard to find this set — and I haven’t been able to locate any existing 3D models of it either. So I decided to try designing and printing it myself. So far, I’ve only had time to recreate the basic block and connector. I’d love to make a balcony, a flower box, and parts for floors and roofs.
Unfortunately, I had to rely on memory to determine the dimensions.
If anyone still has original parts, I’d be very grateful if you could send me the measurements or a photo next to a ruler.
