Gotcha! The old painful masking of decorated parts! Uncheck "Decorated parts on/off" near the search field.- 4619 replies

Is your Studio up-to-date? I works here (version 2.23.12), in fact I just have to key in "8477" to see the rim appear (full file name: 84772pb01)- 4619 replies

Hi @Divitis I haven't checked again my pack, but anyway, both the Vespa wheel rim and its tire are integrated to Studio now. Look for part numbers 84772 and 80542.- 4619 replies

@gyenesvi It was a bit longer than expected, but I updated my Technic 2023 H2 parts pack for Studio to include missing parts from the 42160 Audi set as well as the Mars rover wheel. As usual, the pack is available here: https://philohome.com/studio/packs.htm- 4619 replies

@gyenesvi indeed I overlooked these parts! Will take a bit of time, but I'll do them (if nobody beats me on the finish line😁). Thanks for the heads up! Tell me if you spot other missing recent Technic parts...- 4619 replies

Yes, on grid. Using some perspective corrections I come up with this:- 4619 replies

Phondly EnBo PU Battery Pack for Powered UP Technic HUB
Philo replied to Phondly's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Yes it's a pity. I LOVE my prototypes! -
Many people asked for the possibility to use Duplo parts in Studio, so I created this parts pack (including connectivity): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A1gE522bMrcER3hYjqd0CLbGPrvSlvoE To use it, unzip it and place its contents in your C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Stud.io . Duplo parts will then be available in Custom Parts palette of Studio. More details on custom parts in Studio forum: http://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=965&p=2615&hilit=customparts&sid=a0487a9d7213c77248f4ce56001e5072#p2615 Caveats: - Many Duplo parts are missing here (and are not available in LDraw library anyway) - Studio doesn't provide specific connectivity for Duplo, so I had to make do with simple stud or axle connexions. - Compatibility with regular LEGO is limited (you can place bricks over Duplo, but Duplo on bricks doesn't position correctly and generate collisions). - Some parts create unwanted collisions, eg. Duplo wheel on axle. Problem is that Studio part designer generate collision data automatically, I have no control on this. Turn collision off when this happens.

Parts need to be created first, and tracks are a hell to model ;)

Build your LiPo rechargeable battery for Control+ and Powered Up hubs.
Philo replied to Philo's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
No problem for the motors themselves, the limitation comes from the components inside the hub (the LB1836M motor driver is specified with a 9V maximum voltage, 10.5 absolute maximum rating). Buwizz uses a different chip (the one used in PF V2 receivers). -

I also reviewed EnBo battery pack, as you guess in a more abstract way ;) This page compares 4 solutions: Phondly EnBo rechargeable pack Plain alkaline cells NiMH rechargeable cells My own LiPo home made Spoiler: EnBo is awesome, alkaline is the worse... https://www.philohome.com/pupbat/techubats.htm -
Full Speed Ahead!
Philo replied to amorti's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I don't have a definitive answer as it depends on so many parameters... I have the feeling that the 50% motor load will give the best compromise between acceleration to reach speed and top speed, but not necessarily the best top speed! -

Thanks @shroomzofdoom! The fact that LEGO supports the id of the small motor on Technic and RI hubs proves that they consider it to be compatible. Of course the may have capped the duty cycle to limit effective voltage on the motor. Anyway, DC motors are very rugged and the real limitation would be power dissipation in the motor. But we won't ask the puny small motor to make the work of an XL one ;)- 4619 replies

If we take that strictly it is not compatible with Technic hub. Note that Pybricks has a special setting to limit voltage for motor output. Unfortunately I have neither the hub, nor the motor to check deeper.- 4619 replies

GBC General Discussion

The right location on Windows is C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Stud.io\CustomParts\parts If CustomParts doesn't exist in Stud.io folder you need to create it (as well as the parts subfolder)
-
@captainmib I think you won't have long to wait: all files are in Studio library, but the part is not listed. Add 80286.dat (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=80286) to your CustomParts\parts folder, and you'll be able to use the part (it will appear in your Custom Parts palette)

Looks like I forgot this one... I'll update my Technic parts pack tomorrow to add it. See https://www.philohome.com/studio/packs.htm

I made the part, and it's available on LDraw parts tracker (https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/67498-f1.dat) but I've not yet created a parts pack. I was waiting for the blue spring shock absorber, not yet modeled.- 4619 replies

Yes, that's one of the reason why I didn't try to follow the route of output converter (the other beeing simplicity!!!)
