    @dr_spock: The Powered Up App works on phones and tablets running iOS 8.0 and up or Android 5.0 and up. For iOS users it is very rare to find devices < iOS 8 (iOS 8 is compatible with iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 2, iPad with Retina display, iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad mini with Retina display). I think BLE is a bigger issue, older devices don't have it, these iOS 8 compatible devices support BLE, so that might be a bigger deal. I don't know that for Android, but might be the same reason.

    Hi macvdesign. Thanks for joining Eurobricks. Note: you agreed to our terms when joining, we want to promote active members here and want to prevent people only joining to use EB as a billboard.

    Hi guys and gals, https://www.cnet.com/news/lego-powered-up-line-of-programmable-toys-builds-on-boost/ This means that we can now also program our trains: this is supported by Xcode / Swift Playgrounds! For me as an Apple Certified Trainer it also might mean that I can finally tax deduct my LEGO trains haha ;). I did program my trains already but needed Arduino and 'hack' at least part of it (I mean use a not fully puristic solution). From now on we can also do it the LEGO way. Of course it will also work with Android but even with Kotlin, programming it would be much more difficult.

    Hi Nick, thanks for joining Eurobricks. But: a. this is a topic from 2011 that you reopened b. bluntly asking such a such might not be the good strategy I lock it for now.

    They look very nice, but some users experience problems with the large size of the pic :)

    We have a Versacamm (Solvent ink), nice for stickers but not for printing on objects including ABS / LEGO. The UV printers by Roland are indeed more than twice the price of a solvent printer (about 40.000€).
  7. JopieK
    Well UV printers are not that easy I would say. I have a laser engraver from Aliexpress, has some pro's and con's, the tube is fine, the housing and (Ruida) controllers are fine, but it is keeping me very busy as the mirrors are crap and replacing the mirrors is not that easy, they need to be aligned perfectly. Printers are even more tricky, at least my Roland solvent machine is much trickier than that laser machine I would say, but... you could always try of course and share your findings!

    I will have a look @Cinderbike, maybe I can reproduce one for you I have the originals so I can scan them (in fact I already did I think), could you post an image of the problem here? I might not reproduce the whole sheet for now but at least I can probably help you out.

    Don't bump old topics. Welcome to Eurobricks but adhere to the rules.

    Please translate this to English so that people that can't understand German can also enjoy it.

    Hallo Martin, es ist hier kein 1000steine, wir sprechen English auf Eurobricks! Mein Deutsch ist auch nicht ganz Korrekt auf 1000steine, deine English sollte auch nicht 100% zu sein, am wenigstens mal Versuchen, es gibt Leute von fast alle Länder hier. Hello Martin, it is not a German speaking LEGO forum (like 1000steine) here, we speak English on Eurobricks! My German is also not always totally correct on 1000steine, your English should also be totally correct so just try, there are people from almost all countries here. Apart from that, I hope you have a nice stay at Eurobricks.

    It is a preliminary image of set 3225:

    Well it makes life a lot easier if one does not need to create the vectors one selves of course... I would never take this route, but there are an increasing number of people that produce stickers for LEGO that's for sure, and of course it is a little shady anyways since you are most of the time reproducing other work (e.g. I sometimes look at original or model railroad cars and get my inspiration from there but even then it is still copying in one way or the other, even more so when I scan and vector redraw original LEGO artwork of course). B.t.w. you could (and should) complain to him and eBay about it of course!

    You are quite right Bricked1980! They are indeed the same! I did not notice that before. For me a 'hang' to train doors is just a sentimental one: the gray era trains often had such a doors. I also like alternative doors including those of the Emerald Night cars.
  15. JopieK
    Transparent parts are made from acrylic, but still I indeed think that that was the reason for this to happen indeed.
  16. JopieK
    Not really a train, but: So we get the black train doors back!! Is some HP like set, as seen on 1000steine. (Chromeknight you beat me too it already ;))
  17. JopieK
    Thanks for sharing Jim! You guys asked the right questions!

    Another "Korstanje Marvel" (you should TM that ;))

    Welcome to EB Rich, and what an intro! Looks really great! I got a little dizzy while using the 3d feature I must say but very neat and also great job on the cam.
  20. JopieK
    Well I guess you failed to mention some context: https://brickset.com/parts/tag-Other/colour-Transparent-Blue It seems to be some kind of technic prototype part.
  21. JopieK
    I like it very much Arjen! The arms go a little fast but that is the only critical comment that I could possibly make on it.
  22. JopieK
    Very nice job, looks great! Are you going to build it for real as well? Or release it as instructions? We have had quite some discussions on this here in Train Tech, it appears it is near impossible for train sets to reach 10.000 supporters for some reason (maybe the same reason that LEGO is somewhat hesitant with releasing more train-related items?!). In some countries children find trains great, in other countries maybe not so much?! B.t.w. We have some rules about LEGO Ideas and other external links that boil down to this: "please don't use EB as an advertisement platform, please don't join EB for that reason only". So welcome to Eurobricks but do keep these rules into consideration (you agreed on them when you joined.
  23. JopieK
    They are indeed really pico ;)
  24. JopieK
    @Maaboo35: No problem ;)
