bonox Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Is this from a MOC with instructions? If so, this is a fault in the instructions (and the model). I think this is an illegal build for all possible explanations of the word. yes, yes and yes. But it is a model with practically no spare space in a large cube, a great deal of clever (but sometimes over the top) reinforcing and this is by no means the best example of "difficult to disassemble" that the model contains. As noted in sheo's original thread for the MOC, it could be modified all sorts of ways, but then it wouldn't be his MOC any more. it's this one, for those interested http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91329&hl= and it's an absolute cracker of a model there are also not many MOC's where you get questions like "how do I do 'x' on page 2289 of the instructions" Quote
darksheep Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Used the trick for some thing similar. I think some times people forget lego design things in cleaver ways some times . Often think why is this part made the way its is , then it will hit me when I am building some thing . Quote

I think this is an illegal build for all possible explanations of the word. Many connections of System parts require the use of the brick separator to disassemble. I think that using some simple tools to disassemble Technic models is legal as long as it cause no harm to parts. Edited May 22, 2015 by sheo Quote

Well, at least the connection the model uses is not actually impossible. Quote
RohanBeckett Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 ok.. now THAT one, you'll definitely need a pointy pin to 'dig into' the 2l red axles, to drag them out! :) Quote
bonox Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) a better question would be "what is that design trying to achieve"? Since the answer is probably "nothing functional", one would question the utility of painting yourself into a corner. There are plenty of other ways of making your parts useless, including giving them away to someone who'll actually use them On a different note, a prize to anyone who can get a 2L (or better 3L) axle between the pins edit: prize not price Edited May 22, 2015 by bonox Quote
Boxerlego Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Yes.. I know it's been solved.. But I always like a challenge.. so here it is for fun :) Nice video, It didn't even occur to me at the time that it was already solved, I guessed I should have read the entire thread instead of leaving a quick reply. That way is certainly the best way to dissemble that assembly of parts. Edited May 24, 2015 by Boxerlego Quote
RohanBeckett Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Thank you Doug72 in post 11 for the easiest solution and RohanBeckett in post 21 for the video. so I learned that the The red connector pin is hollow Just a note to this - look at the pin-end of the connector - it's not round You will not get any lego piece that I know of, down there (eg: standard rod/antenna) - which is why I used a paperclip - thin, long, and strong Quote
