dr_spock Posted July 24, 2013 Welcome to Eurobricks. Your apron feeder could fit in a Great Ball Contraption (GBC). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TinkerBrick Posted July 25, 2013 Hi Emre! Congrats for your unusual moc. You see these kind of feeders mostly in GBCs. I like it so far. I would suggest reducing the size of the motor housing. Have you thought about using a worm gear driving a 12 tooth gear for the belt? This could cut the size of the housing by half. Anyway, great idea for playing with an excavator and a dump truck.
