Kinda looks like a drywall anchor...
It IS a drywall anchor! (Drill for scale)
But why is it square??
Nifty!
And look how much it holds!
My brother works at MIT and invents cool things like this. Even if he never makes money from his inventions I'm super proud of him and wish I had his creativity.
He's not on imgur, but I just wanted to share because I thought some of you might appreciate it :)
schitzngiggles
Ok..... so what does that do?

Now we can step into Legos when we walk up the wall, nice!
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Oh great it holds... um... a couple sticks and a wheel thing? I guess I didn't realize the iPhone would be a success either...
agumonkey
now let's cover the whole wall

I"m so confused.

Lego anchors is genius. Up there with kitten mittens.
Minitell
I thought the people at MIT were meant to be clever?

Traditional drywall anchors do fine, but kudos to him for making a thing.
shhep
I mean traditional drywall anchors do better, since those clutch the other side of the wall on bigger area. But inventing that is so cool.
amoth
Oh, he's not on imgur. That's why he gets shit done
StarscreamAndHutch
Few truer words have ever been typed out.

Not on Imgur? I don't understand.

Quick question. Why would you want to drill holes in your walls just to be able to put a few lego pieces on it?
merlinious
Maybe they could make it work with pegboard?
somethingnotyettaken
The alternative is drilling holes in the walls and putting shelves up to put the Lego on. Why waste the money on shelves?
hamsto24
You could hang 4 and put a board on it to make a lego "canvas".
originalWFHhipster
"Quick question". Love it.
DrFartstheTRex
I thought it was a dildo from the thumbnail. If it was a bit bigger and you're brave enough, I guess.
Leguna
Same here! I genuinely thought "who aside goatsie would use that Dido! "

Bender might.

I'd just superglue a lego brick on a nail head.
herpopottomas
And that's why you don't go to MIT, now good day sir. I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!
TheWanderer22
Why tho?
greenf1sh
So... thingiverse link? Or do I have to open Solidworks and make this myself...
truthsmiles
I've asked my brother. If/when he gives me one I'll PM you :)

OP's slow, I made one instead. Enjoy! http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2049832

So this seems like it's holding virtually nothing? Am I missing something?
colinstu
holds virtually nothing, and creates a huge hole in the wall.
ihatewerk
So, wtf did he invent? A way to stick some Legos on the wall?
CrashingBrain
"Even if he never makes money from his inventions" REALLY? why money does always have to be the reason for success?
tokenhooker
Because YOU NEED MONEY TO LIVE

I NEED THIS!

I've often wanted to stick my legos to the wall. Keeps me from stepping on them.
Lonecoon
...I wonder if you could 3d print this with wood fiber to make something that would hold screws to trees.
rynil2000
IDK, try it out - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2049832
