[abandoned] LDD projects and buildings

[Gray Gear]

I recommend using LDCad as well. Once you get the hang of it LDD feels like a Kid's toy, so much more possibilities.

Well, here are the final photos of my steering axle.

 

Side part - replaces a part that is not inserted.

Я также рекомендую использовать LDCad. Как только вы освоитесь с ним, LDD станет детской игрушкой, гораздо больше неприятностей.

But how to build in LDcad, I have not figured out yet.

I recommend editing that last word...

It is made from the side.

I would like to suggest something new:

 

This is the rear axle that efferman did.

I really liked it, and I want to do the same in LDD.

 

The only but:

 

This part is not in LDD.

This part was produced from 2003 to 2006.

You can use brick-built solutions. Just make it a group and save as template. Then, each time you import the template it will be spawned as a group. Here's a functional version: download. It doesn't have the arch, but connections are accurate.

Thanks for the info.

[SUPER Max Black]

At the moment I am sitting and doing the rear axle.   I will show progress soon.

[Gray Gear]

Please dont feel offended by this, but would you mind not bumping this topic unless you have something intresting to show? You don't need to post every single brick you put in place. Post something when you have made some moajor progress that is actually intresting for others to look at.

For comparison: Other builders update their WIP topics maybe every few weeks at most, but often even less than once a month. And the updates are more than a single line of text with maybe one picture.

Nothing, I'll think about it.

 

 

Speaking of the axis, here are the photos:

What do you think about it?

Now it remains to select the steering axle.

Anyone have any ideas?

I need an dependent axis. There should be four studs from the wheel (center) mount to the frame. The axle should be thirteen pins wide.

Anyone have any suggestions for this?

I want to try to make a steerable bridge with Ackerman geometry.

[SUPER Max Black]

Well, here's what I got:

This is just a sketch, but it fits perfectly with the servo motor.

[SUPER Max Black]

I found the perfect example of a 4-speed transmission.

Green - in

Red - out

I'm going to use it to build a truck.

[SUPER Max Black]

Today I was digging through the files and found an interesting assembly. This is the rear axle.

 

and center differential with rear axle lock:

I think I will do the same in my future truck.

[SUPER Max Black]

Today I assembled a simple 2-speed transfer case.

As always: green - in, red - out.

But I did not find a place for the blocker.

[SUPER Max Black]

 

So I decided to download new parts for LDD.

If it works, I'll show you.

I'm thinking of moving on to a separate topic on the truck.
