sm1995's Ideas Thread

[sm1995]

Hi everyone,

Since a lot of my projects go unfinished I thought it would be a good idea for me to start an ideas thread where I post random things I build that I think are cool.

I'd like to kick off with a flappy paddle system I developed to be used in my next MOC (if it ever gets finished! ). Goal was to build a clean, reliable and sturdy system with rubber bands hidden from sight. Uses Eurobricks member Didumos69's ingenious 90° limiter.

Much cleaner than the one in the Porsche. Very nice. ​

It looks really very good. Video and instructions or LXF would be perfect. I'm interested to build it... Thank you. :*

Because the steering wheel is at an angle, it looks way better than the one in the Porsche. Nice!

I don't have the Porsche (yet). Are are there any functional differences between this one and the Porsche's one, or does it do exactly the same (just in a different way)?

Thanks guys!

I can try to build an LXF file, but I'm a complete newb at LDD. I'll do a video next week since I'm out for the weekend. :)

Well, if by functionality you mean pulling a paddle to rotate an axle by 90 degrees, yes it has the same functionality :) But it works differently, using one knob-wheel and bionicle teeth. ( Porsche's uses 3 knob-wheels, and works on a different principle)

Video's up! I got my sister to operate it so you can see it being used by someone who's inexperienced with Legos, and you can be sure I'm not babying it to look better than it actually is :devil:

Thank you,

I replicated the visible part on friday and I needed to see it from the bottom. The parts around bionicle teeth. Can you make a photo from the bottom? Thanx :)

wow, looks awesome! someone with the porsche should integrate it! I might build it for fun as well...

[sm1995]

Thanks MRP_ !

I cannot take pictures of it now because it's already inside another sub assembly as of now, but I'll learn my way through LDD ( doesnt seem difficult at all) and post a file soon.

Nice build...!

Here's the link for the dropbox file, the single bush wasn't in my LDD inventory so I replaced them with red double bushes. So when you're building replace all red double bushes with single bushes.

Thank you... :)

This would also allow a direct connection of the steering wheel to the steering rack > much reduced slack
