Alasdair Ryan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Looks good are you going to share what functions you plan on having? Compressor Slew Legs Mayby rear legs Rasie lower legs (this would mean you are going to build new legs) That is only five functions out of eight. Edited February 21, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
efferman Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 only four functions, because i only want control the crane and the outriggers. I think with the next two pictures you will see it more clear. it is not complete, the levers will be centered by rubberbands, to let the functions stop, when it is no finger on the lever. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Why are you using four gear driving ring's/gear change piece's,this takes up a lot of room,you should only need two gear change piece's. Edited February 21, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
efferman Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 one lever is for one function and both directions of this function. i dont need a electrical switch to change the directions. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Ah clever German engineering again. Quote
Robert M Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This might be a silly question, but are you still working on 9397. I ask because the colour scheme to me doesn't say this. Quote
efferman Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 yes this is for the logging truck. red is the chassis, yellow is part of the crane system, and black is the bodywork Quote
Robert M Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 That is a really effective way of getting the gears to change. I wouldn't of though about that. Quote
timslegos Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Ah clever German engineering again. :laugh: . Nice progress. I would never have thought to have a mechanical solution to what is often solved electrically. tim Quote
efferman Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 again a step is done The rubberbands which are centering the levers are not yet added Quote
timslegos Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 looks even better. is there anyway to bring the crane just a little closer to the wall? Or will the crrane arm go there? At the moment it looks a little empty . tim Quote
Robert M Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I actually think it's an ok distance away, as the Grapple ( forgotten real name ) will go there when the crane folds back on itself. Or at least I prosume it will. Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) The grab should fit in the gap. (try saying that fast. ) Edited February 22, 2012 by Alasdair Ryan Quote
efferman Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 i think the distance is ok, when i compare it with this picture source Quote
Robert M Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Suppose there nothing wrong with big gaps, but it just doesn't look the same, maybe a bit empty. Edited February 22, 2012 by Robert M Quote
Sam42 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Very clever, a much more attractive solution that the previous one, a lot closer to the original. Quote
efferman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 some things in motion the center function has to less friction outside of the driving rings to stop immediately Quote
Alasdair Ryan Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 That is going to be quite cool when its done. Quote
jorgeopesi Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Wow amazing motion, an old truck or modern with old style?, I don´t know much more about american trucks... Quote
efferman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 The archetype of my logging truck is a peterbilt 359 and the crane should look like a US logging Crane. Quote
timslegos Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I love the technique you used for controlling the gear shifter, it is very original. would you mind showing that system in more detail? tim Quote
efferman Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 do you want details from the direction reverser or from the control of the direction reverser? Quote
timslegos Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 do you want details from the direction reverser or from the control of the direction reverser? um both . i dont know what you are asking . tim Quote
sama Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Yah, me too. I want to see how that gearshifter works in detail (the yellow gearshifter). Quote
