I had some missing LEGO bits, so I found the components on ldraw.org, converted to STL with LDView, and butchered them together with Fusion360.

In this case, I merged 3 parts into one, so I'd only have to deal with 1 interface instead of 5. The sanding probably made it worse.

How is the clicky-ness? Does it snap to regular LEGO well?

It fits well enough to hang upside down, but I didn't do much fine tuning. https://github.com/paulirotta/PELA-blocks#calibrate would probably work better for generic brick shapes.
