BrickSuite v0.4.0

Released October 7, 2026

BrickSuite v0.4.0 expands BrickSuite into a cross-platform workshop platform for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with paired Host / Remote access, improved Inventory and Set workflows, and major new 3D printing and LEGO Fit calibration capabilities.

Inventory, Storage & Sets

  • Improved Inventory entry, correction, and removal workflows, including clearer zero-quantity handling.
  • Hierarchical Storage with the new Box type and clearer inventory destinations.
  • Modeless Set Details with provider enrichment and a Catalog Parts List. Keep details open while adding selected Parts to Inventory.
  • Use Set for Parts... previews a catalog Set's composition and adds loose pieces directly to Inventory, with copy counts and optional spares. This is separate from disassembling an owned Collection item.

Builds & Procurement

  • Improved What Can I Build, requirement handling, allocation, and interactive pulling.
  • Clearer Missing Parts review and procurement exports, including Rebrickable CSV and BrickLink Wanted List preparation.
  • Inventory provenance and Build history remain connected throughout allocation, completion, and disassembly.

3D Models, Printing & LEGO Fit

  • View installed LDraw models or open local LDraw files in the 3D Model Viewer.
  • Use Prepare for Printing to validate supported geometry, with clear Ready / Not Ready feedback and export diagnostics.
  • When native preparation cannot produce printable geometry, export for external repair and import a repaired 3MF or STL as a Local Printable Override.
  • Generate single-family or custom multi-family LEGO Fit Calibration packages, manage calibration sessions, continue searches, record observations, and create Verified Fit Profiles.
  • Apply supported fit corrections where compatible calibration evidence, interface support, and print orientation permit. Nominal Prepared Mesh exports remain unmodified by Fit Profiles.

Host / Remote

Access shared Host data through paired Remote clients using encrypted TLS connections and Host fingerprint verification. Shared workflows remain distinct from each device's local settings and configuration.

Help, Usability & Reliability

  • Refreshed built-in and Online Help with current screenshots.
  • Application-wide tooltips and context Help.
  • Improved Dark / Light themes and dialog layouts.
  • Clearer backup, integrity, and recovery guidance.

Downloads

Choose the package matching your operating system and architecture:

Platform Package
Windows x64 BrickSuite-0.4.0-Windows-x64-Setup.exe
macOS ARM64 / Apple Silicon BrickSuite-v0.4.0-macOS-arm64.zip
macOS x86_64 / Intel BrickSuite-v0.4.0-macOS-x86_64.zip
Linux x86_64 BrickSuite-v0.4.0-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz

macOS requires 13.0 or newer. The Linux release baseline is Ubuntu 22.04 / glibc 2.35, with automatic installation supported on Ubuntu 22.04+ x86_64.

Before upgrading, back up your database and close BrickSuite.

On Linux, extract the archive and run ./install.sh from its BrickSuite directory. The installer requests consent before installing missing prerequisites.

Important Notes / Known Limitations

  • macOS: Builds are ad-hoc signed and are not Apple notarized. The project does not currently use an Apple Developer ID certificate, so additional confirmation may be required before first launch. ARM64 was manually tested on Apple Silicon. Intel is built and CI-validated; manual Intel runtime acceptance remains pending.
  • Set part-out: Available locally or on the Host, but not from a Remote client. Uncertain nested composition can block direct part-out.
  • Printing: The necessary installed LDraw files are required. BrickSuite does not guarantee universal LDraw printability; difficult topology may require external repair.
  • Fit corrections: Verified corrections require supported calibration/interface evidence, a compatible profile, and an allowed print orientation. Repaired geometry does not automatically gain Verified Fit coverage, and Experimental Auto Fit is not equivalent to Verified calibration.
