Help with the legs of 10266

[Stephan]

Hi!

I am building 10266 NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander in LDD, but am struggling with the leg geometry.

Could someone perhaps assist me with it? The Rods won't line up.

Okay, I think I’ve the geometry down.

The main problem is that the top / shorter segment / black segment has to be 8.28° down but the 32126 can’t rotate more than 2.xx° down “around” the 11458.

Another problem is that 32005’s connections and ball rotations are a PITA.

Otherwise, as I said, the black segment should be down 8.28° (-98.28° for LDD between 32126 and 32002) and should make an angle of 119.86° with the silver segment (-150.14° for LDD).  The foot/golden segment should then be at 21.57° (-158.43° for LDD) for the dish to be horizontal.

(The “for LDD” angles depend on how you placed the parts in LDD as parts are (often) symetrical (like a pin can appear “straight” but can add 90°, 180°, or 270° to the angle).)

Awesome! I'll try it out this evening. Thanks for your calculations!
