> They're not very flexible though, I can't just take any accessories like the display in the article and attach it properly with a few extra blocks.

Well, you can. You just need to attach the accessory to a lego piece that suits your fancy, and you're done.

By "attach" you mean glue?

It really depends on your goals and needs.

Still, in a world where 3D printing is sold as a happy path solution to everything, putting glue on a couple of COTS plastic pieces sold for about $0.10 seems like an absolute no-brainer.

Using glue on small PCBs doesn't seem very sensible to me. I guess it's asking for too much to sell some lego bricks with simple ways of attaching a PCB?

Then why are you basing your argument on an approach which you already believe isn't sensible?

I mean, you can glue everything you wish on a lego piece, including all the M3 spacers you need.

But hey, why settle with an easy solution when you can bicker endlessly about problems that you don't need to handle?
