SNIPE Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Hi, I have always wondered if this part is compatible with lego technic pin holes. I have a MOC situation where I need to have an axle thru-hole which also can be meshed with the pinholes of two beams which are 1L apart. I could use the new technic connector pinhole with 1L axle on opposite sides, placed sideways with a 3L pin connecting the beams but the connectors axles are too short, hence the need for an axle thru-hole. Can the sides of part 24122 be placed inside of pinholes? even if it means having to twist it in due to it being a tight fit. axle joiners or #2 connectors are too long also. Regards, snipe.

Jurss Posted December 14, 2017 Even if they fit, those ends are not full pins, more like half. I have also dreamed, that it would be nice to have part like this, that there is axle thru, then pins and/or 1l axles on sides. Or this with axle-truh in the middle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mocbuild101 Posted December 14, 2017 I don't think it would fit, maybe you could post a photo of what you need it for... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNIPE Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Never mind, I'll just buy some and test it out. in LDD it fits fine. I don't need the connector to click into place like pins do because the connector is sandwitched between two15L liftarms. I don't need to worry about it rotating like pins do because the motors output and axle will prevent that from happening.

steph77 Posted December 14, 2017 Hello, Maybe you could post a screenshot of your LDD file? This way some of us could probably tell you more about your build. Regards, Steph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agrof Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) I don't think the usage of that part is reasonable in technic system like described. Just made a quick test in LDD, You will have uneven offset match, does not fit nor in 1/2 stud nor in 1 stud as usual. I recommend to use 27940 or 87082 instead. Here you can check, it is placed right that deep as just possible. It creates a rather odd offset: Edited December 14, 2017 by agrof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNIPE Posted December 14, 2017 I got it all the way in the pinhole in LDD. Maybe I was not clear enough, I meant can somebody actually test putting it in a pinhole in real life. I will buy some but want to do when I have more different parts to order. I'll post the lxf file soon but cannot see much point to it. regards, snipe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agrof Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Indeed, LDD allows that, I did not try it all the way, but I see some impact around the perimeter... unfortunately I don't have the parts to test. Edited December 14, 2017 by agrof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TechnicRCRacer Posted December 14, 2017 I have this part and it does not fit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
