[HELP] Generic Building Help Topic
deehtha replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
What about replacing some of the beams with 67491's mounted vertically? -
Some EU member state have stricter requirements, Netherlands includes electronic toys as well, https://business.gov.nl/amendment/usb-type-c-mandatory-portable-devices/ . So it could just be easier to switch across all regions. I know some companies here in the States have switched their laptops to USB-C charging from proprietary plugs. Or, the new battery/hub can use the full 240 watts of USB-C for quick charging.

John Deere has a very large portfolio of children's toys across many brands. I think it is about more about getting kids to link green with tractors and and green with John Deere. Living in the Midwest of USA, its entirely possibly for a child to grow up only playing with John Deere toys. And quite a few share the same accuracy issues with the source model as this one does.

I was not insulting anyone, but if you feel insulted, maybe you should do some introspection. And it does get old, every time a new is released without a B-model and we have to see many posts about the lack of a B-model and how TLG has lost their way. If TLG has the resources to design 10 models for a year, I would rather see 10 sets released, not 5. It wasn't that long ago when the Technic theme was lucky to get 10 sets a year.

As an adult, I have not chosen a set because it did or did not have a B-model. I chose it because I liked the main model or was a good parts pack. All this sky is falling nonsense about the lack of B-models on every 2024 topic is getting old. If if made financial sense to do B-models, TLG would be doing them. But nothing they release can compare with what the mocers can create as C-Models. I would prefer the resources into designing a set go into releasing more sets. Especially sets that fill out the piece palette for some of these colors (more Purple please).

Universal off-roader 4x4 V2
deehtha replied to Zerobricks's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The reason to put the shocks on the upper arm is so that all the forces are pushing the wheel hub into the arm so that the hub does not pop out during suspension travel.- 44 replies

Best 3d priter
deehtha replied to Sentinel's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I really enjoy my Creality Ender 3 V2. The quality is good, but you definitely should upgrade the bed leveling screws. I am also working on printing up the parts to move the extruder motor to the print head itself. The nice part about it is it can resume prints if there is power loss. There is a lot of different bits you can print to upgrade it. The only thing is, some assembly is required and the bed, unless you upgrade the levelers, needs constant leveling. You can find them for around $199 US. I also have great luck with Inland brand filament. It is a little cheaper than some of the other brands. Just make sure you have a way to keep the humidity low, PLA absorbs water and can mess up prints in a humid environment. -

Technic 2023 Set Discussion
deehtha replied to Dami's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
While this is a good idea, what happens when the person who doesn't know better buys the less expensive set as a gift that cannot be built now? The only way this would work without backlash would be as a Lego.com exclusive. And the amount of the reduction will not be equal to buying the electronics from the website. The RC world is different. Everybody has their preference for electronics, and they can be quite expensive. And chassis and bodies will break, so you need new ones, but not new electronics.
