How many spare parts do you have?
Zimix replied to Richard Dower's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team
I don't keep set build so all parts are spare. According to brickstock, i have about 38k of parts, in 1362 lots. The 3 main pins make about 9.5k. All about 45 kg (with building instructions). That's only my post dark age collection. Don't have the count on my pre dark age parts. -
From official set I own or could build with my parts collection, I could say none is hard. That said, I remember having to struggle with a creation found on this forum, the Terex RH400 Mining Excavator from Sheo. You can easily end up having wires either to long or to short at some place and noway to pull or push them. So only way out, start to reverse build till you can adjust the wires.

Today I started the build of 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator, and got a strange part Tire 49.5 x 20 15413 one out of the 4 is much harder. Tire could only be put on rim by heating it a bit to get it a little smoother. I think it's about 20 to 30 shore A harder. Did it happen to anyone else?

The link to the instruction thread for those who missed it

I have a small question, is this topic only about TLG "technic 2017 discussion and speculation", or also about any of our great master technic creator builder ? Where to speculate about for ex, madoca 1977 creation for 2017.
-
Madoca, thank you, I really appreciate your tremendous work and that you share it too. Great work and keep going and enjoying to work with lego.

Well done, another mechanism which specially maniacs of aligning stuff should really consider. Never not align U-joint unless you know the effect.

Paradoxical gears and Hobson coupling

That's exactly what lego technic is about, to show how so called simple mechanism do work. Nice work !! And I really enjoyed to watch it. -

Do you have a windows system variable LDRAWDIR defined ? and pointing to the same directory C:\Program Files(x86)\LDCad\ldraw or does it point somewhere else ? -
Need Help to disassemble some technic assy
Zimix replied to Zimix's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team
Alex, I think you should not search another way to do this. You only need to know how to dismantle it safely. Rather put a notice at end of the BI with some hints to dismantle the Terex. -
Need Help to disassemble some technic assy
Zimix replied to Zimix's topic in LEGO Technic and Model Team
In the Terex instruction with 2464 pages (the actual complete one) it's at page 892 where the cross axle 4 with stop is put in place. In the Terex superstructure instruction with 1640 pages, it's at page 68. -

OK this construction is used in Sheo's Terex. I was more afraid to brake a part then I should have. In fact with my Swiss army knife it went unexpectedly smoth as you recommended Ludo Visser. Thank you
