    Pure awesomeness!

    It's all there... you just have to download the zip file, open it then drag/drop the folder in the right place. More details here: https://philohome.com/studio/packs.htm

    They are both available from LDraw OMR: https://library.ldraw.org/omr/sets/1168 https://library.ldraw.org/omr/sets/1059 Unfortunately it seems that 60292 was not modeled yet.

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

    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)

    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.

    Better late answer than never ;) Feel free to share it or any similar work I did!

    @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
  9. Philo
    @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...

    The diagonals don't have an integer length indeed. But the holes are on grid...
  11. Philo
    Yes, on grid. Using some perspective corrections I come up with this:

    Yes it's a pity. I LOVE my prototypes!

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

    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).
  15. Philo
    This is far above specifications of Powered Up hub components...

    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

    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!
  18. Philo
    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 ;)

    Medium motor: https://education.lego.com/v3/assets/blt293eea581807678a/blt692436dd1e8fa71c/5f8801d5c8a27c1d9614c27e/techspecs_technicmediumangularmotor.pdf Small motor: https://education.lego.com/v3/assets/blt293eea581807678a/blt20ee0f27f6735942/60fe86455483765886b0da3c/LE_SPIKE_Essential_Tech_fact_sheet_Small_Angular_Motor_45607_2HY21_Digital.pdf The big question with the small motor is voltage... according to specs its max voltage is 6V. 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.

    Very nice! The great thing with GBC is the possibility to repurpose oddball parts to functional uses!

    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)
  22. Philo
    @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)
  23. Philo
    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
  24. Philo
    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.
  25. Philo
    Yes, that's one of the reason why I didn't try to follow the route of output converter (the other beeing simplicity!!!)
