sawyer klegr Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Lego GBC Bucket Conveyor Module This Lego GBC module uses a conveyor mechanism with the buckets from the bucket wheel excavator set attached to it. It is a slow but reliable module, and it can (surprisingly) hold the GBC standard of 30 balls. The yellow rail you can see in the back is part of the mechanism that keeps the buckets at the correct angle. It works well but I would like to change it to use small technic wheels to reduce friction on the mechanism and make the parts last longer. The ldd file and instructions are of rebrickable here. The two gray 6L half beams help to stop the buckets from catching on the bottom of the module. I am not using clutch gears in the video but I have tested it with them. It would probably be a good idea to use them, the module ripped itself apart several times throughout the build and testing process. More photos on Flickr.
