thanks for that. would U see an improvment in movement if we replace the blue friction pins with non friction pins? less friction?

Done. And as the moving part is pretty much the same I skipped it.

Nice improvments Doug. Today I built the elevator module for the 1st time and added the mods U did in a different way. Should I do a LDD files for the modded elevator? cos we have a different height than the original and added some other mods to it.

Tried a different solution. Technic Pin Long with Friction Ridges Lengthwise and Stop Bush on both sides

LXF file in the works

Ok, thanks for the info. Ill dump the Z28 LXF and make one for the Z56 T/T with shock absorber and one with rubber bands

yes its possible to get part list from LDD files. Go to File -> Export BOM

fixed.

at the base. where the 15L beam is diagonally. on both sides. the #2 will be added later. EDIT: Found some other minor changes to the digital build when I had a closer look to my model. All changes implemented in the LDD and Stud.io files. Used Stud.io to put all pins in place. "No Collision" is the key.

LXF for Rotary Dumper Mod with Z28 T/T and rubber bands is done. Hopefully no mistakes in it. The 2 black Pins arent possible to put in place. But works in real world.

If its stucked then no movement is possible anymore. even with hand. and no reaction if I manually push the trip bar. after some time powerless the train unit works as it should. with no reason. still had no time to build the 2nd unit. 1st Im going to complete the LXF for the Rotary Dumper.

Intergrated the Z28 T/T in the Rotary Dumper. Timing is correct. Manuel drive is fine. I might have a problem with my train unit. sometimes the motor just stop with no reason. Switch is changed. same issue. Tomorrow Im going to build a 2nd one and test again. LXF in the works

Reverser Unit Z56 T/T with rubber bands, Reverser Unit Z28 T/T with rubber bands - used Technic Bush instead of 2L Thin Beam Reverser Unit with rubber bands - added 13L beam

I‘ll update the LXF with 2L thin beams in the evening and also do one with the Z56 T/T.

Great to see U got it working with the Z28 T/T. I built it my self and its working like in your video. and done the LXF for that too. Available at my bricksafe. Did some optimization on the base during building process. And there is room for more. Will do it later when we figured out what Ive forgot or done wrong in digital building process xD

Looks good. will add it later to my model. Rotating is quite accurate but the force to move the spring backwards is to high. sometimes its stop close before release. and its not a battery problem. Used the old train control to provide the power. On a bigger wheel the force is higher on the output. so will need to get the Z56 T/T.

My 1st attempt. Timing is not set correct atm but the manual drive is fine

thanks Doug. Mod applied. next is to add your Z28 turntable mod.

had a successful evening/night. but came across an issue. U used the Type 2 turntable for your z56 timing gear. which I dont have. tried with Type 3 but the small 8T gear wont fit. If I change the the gears the timing wont match. Do U have any tips on fixing this problem without buying Type 2 turntable? I have a bunch of Type 3 here.

No problem Doug. I used your last pics to rebuild it. LXF is updated.

sounds great. I finally had time start building the Rotary Dumper. During building I optimized the base a bit. saves some money. Hopefully I find some time tomorrow to build the rotary part of this unit. LXF is already updated.

Hey guys any tips on how to prevent the worm gears to slip over. Tried different mounting points on the boom and also build a different version of actuator. but still slip on the worm gear. If I help the boom to raise over a certain height then its not a problem.

its not possible to do so in LDD. I'll put a picture of yours in the bricksafe folder to descibe it.
