Description

In the heart of the ancient kingdom, there was a whispered legend of the Open-Lock Bridge, a marvel of engineering far beyond its time. This bridge could span any river or canal, no matter how wide or tumultuous the waters. Its segments, light yet unyielding, could be clipped together with a single touch, forming a seamless path that grew as long as one wished. Even the finest blacksmiths and builders of the medieval world were left in awe, watching as common folk assembled the bridge with ease, defying the boundaries of nature and time with each click. It was said that wherever the Open-Lock Bridge was built, prosperity followed, as it connected not only lands but hearts across kingdoms.

Updates

14 February 2025 (version 1.1) To simplify the assembly of the bridge and its connection to the City Foundations, we have renamed the parts and added a D-wall with side OpenLOCK ports for attaching other walls. A layout guide is available in the gallery.

Notes for Ramshackle OpenLOCK Bridge:

Right-click on the image below and “Save As” to download the reference sheet for this pack.

Note that the bridge ends can connect to walls but not to floors. Similar to the City Foundation walls, the floors are positioned next to the walls but do not attach.

Product measurements can be found in the image gallery.

Posted on August 24, 2017July 22, 2025 by Dee Barker

Horizontal OpenLOCK ports print with small supports to support the overhangs in the port mouth. You need to remove these supports post-printing before you can insert the OpenLOCK clips. We recommend using some needle-nosed pliers for this task. You can use the pliers to grip and twist the two supports in each port, breaking them… Read more

I fear that I may be missing something. I’ve purchased the Ramshackle Bridge and city foundations packs and they don’t come to the same height for them to neatly join together. For example, the foundation tiles sit on top of risers, but even then they’re around 5mm lower than the height of the bridge floor. What a I doing wrong?

Hi Michael, this product is about to be updated with the wall to connect to the City Foundation walls with the texture at the back and no connection to the floors. Just like the other walls do not connect to the floors at that height.
