Philtech's GBC Modules

Here I would like to present you my GBC Modules.
First of all I want to show you my GBC Module - Slider.

• GBC Module - Slider (see below)
• GBC Module - Lifting Rim

GBC Module - Slider

It has a slider that pushes the balls up an inclined plane.

Here a few images:

Here you can see the mechanism:

Nice variation of the reciprocating sweepers often seen on GBC videos (the ones with a ratchet for directing the back travel).

The originality in your module is the linear oscillation thanks to a 2-bar reciprocating arm (instead of the use of a big rotating arm).

Thanks for your comment!

I have seen this sweeper and thought about how to rebuild it with a different mechanism and only from Technic parts. This is the result!

Building only from Technic (i.e. studless) parts : I didn't notice this at the first time.

Was it for aesthetics purposes and/or for a self-challenge ? Because building fully studless seems challenging for my design skills and my studded background (before my dark age... whereas I now take advantage of both design strategies).

Perhaps am I going off-topic.

I built it studles for challenging myself, I think it would be much easier to build it with studs. Also I have not much parts with studs, so I normally prefer to build without studs.

GBC Module - Lifting Rim

This GBC Module lifts the balls in a rim.

Here is a render of the mechanism:

And here are other photos:

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it.
