Technic General Discussion

Yeah. That was my thinking. It's mainly the new tires I wanted anyway . -
Technic General Discussion

If anyone is in the UK, Argos are selling the e-tron 42160 for £82. It's a 'black friday' thing so probably won't last long. I am tempted as it looks like a good parts donor. But I'm not sold on the control app stuff. -

Amazing. No inconvenience caused. Thanks for the awesome work! -
Custom LDD bricks and fixes
Oliver 79 replied to Equilibrium's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Hi. Thanks for the amazing work on the LDD parts update. With the latest update (version 20231023) I have a few bricks showing error. It just shows a generic 2x2 brick with an exclamation mark. I can't list them as LDD also unexpectedly just closes on me now. Any idea how to fix this? Many thanks in advance. -
Chevrolet Belair 57

This is rather nice. I like the shaping you managed to create on the rear end. And the use of the mudguard piece over the headlights is very clever. I think the front wheel arch could do with a bit of tweaking. It feels a bit blocky compared with the rest of the build. All in all its a thumbs up from me! -
Advanced/Heavy Weight Hinge - Need help
Oliver 79 replied to Kage Goomba's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
It might be a bit difficult to implement. But could you use some struts like this? -
Volkner Mobil (inspired) luxury RV WIP/build thread

This is true. I didn't take that into consideration. However, the frame could be modified to fit. -

This is coming along nicely . I have a suggestion regarding all those bevel gears in the lift mechanism. You can get rid of a few of them with this setup: With this all the mini LA's will be rotating in the same direction and will have less friction due to less gears. -

I like the way this is going. I think it belongs in this forum, but I'd imagine it would fit the creator forum too. I'd say PF over PU but only because I think it integrates with Technic better. And I don't like all this smart phone enabled stuff. Looking forward to seeing more progress for sure. -

This is really intriguing and with such lovely movement. I might have to have a go at reverse engineering it! Thanks for sharing it. -

Ha ha . thanks for the explanation. Shapeways here I come! -

Oliver 79 replied to Oliver 79's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks @Jundis . I did try those panels. In fact I ordered some especially for it, but somehow I didn't like them. I might post a picture with them on for comparison. This part would indeed work and would be very useful. But I just can't go over to the dark side! (if only Lego would take note!) Thanks for all the comments guys. -

Thank you. I'd be delighted if Sennebogen wanted to buy it. I once made a Huddig backhoe and they contacted me asking to buy it. They didn't in the end as my asking price was too high! -

Oliver 79 replied to Oliver 79's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for your comments. I don't have any lime so I had to go with yellow. I also tried adding more panels to the arm but the extra weight ment it was too heavy for the actuator to lift. If I changed the gearing ratio it might work but I couldn't find any space inside to do that. The outriggers are geared through a worm gear hence the slow speed. I'd still say they're faster than the 42009 though -

Thanks. I suppose if you put a couple of motors in the under carriage they might fit. But then where to put the battery box? Personally I prefer the challenge of only using one motor and figuring out the gearbox.
