  1. I like the new pin type and its colour. The black ramps cannot be seen easily. I would not change them. Up to you ;) You should definitely change the red cross pin that holds the white net to black.
  2. Very nice build! I like technical models with lots of functions :) And it's a brilliant idea with the new 20T clutch gear, didn't even know that there's one. Do you have some more images showing how you drive the two seperate functions?
  3. And this time you can buy instructions. No need to reverse engineer :)
  4. @Berthil Do you have instructions for the gbc counter module?
  5. Thanks a lot! These images really help. Do you also have mages from the other side of the ball drop tower with the mechanism of the ball picker? Cheers, Thomas
  6. Can you post an image which shows your modification. I'd like to try this out at my factory since my ball picker doesn't work anymore. Edit: Forget it. I got it :)
  7. I looked very hard but couldn't spot the build difference between the incorrect and the correct alignment. Please help, thanks :) Of course I spotted the difference in continuous speed.
  8. This is very cool! The only other module missing is the Through Module. Hope Akiyuki will eventually add instruction for this as well.
  9. @Ankoku Thank you very much for sharing everything you changed. I'm gonna wait until your factory is complete and you report that it's reliable. Then I will eventually change mine. Cheers, Thomas
  10. Please share your modifications in order to reduce friction and for the output ramp. Thanks!
  11. Perfect! I'm looking forward seeing a better bersion of it. Keep going!
  12. I have built the ball machine according the instuctions some months ago and never came across all the issues you discover. I encounter the slight problem with the technic switcher with the pins though where balls got stuck from time to time. I do have a major problem wth the ball picker though. It worked for a cuple of hours but since then either it gets stuck or lets the balls go too early.
  13. And here the Video that shows the details:
  14. Thanks @Jeroen Ottens for sharing this with us. On the pictures it doesn't look as big as it is in reality. Looking forward seeing a video which would clearly help undestanding all the described functions. Regarding the price and topic discussions: I'm fine with the price @Jeroen Ottens asks. It might be too high for my personal taste but I don't have to buy it. And if he doesn't want to sell instructions that's also up to him. There are many other topics with unique models on eurobricks where we will never have a chance of building them because of missing instructions or details. And just pull down a topic because of the asked price of the finished model is not the right thing to do in my opinion since then equally we would need to tear down all topics asking even a price for instructions. Although I would appreciate if instructions are for free I realize that making a wonderful moc takes a lot of time. And not everyone want's to then give instructions away for free because creating them takes another amount of time. And I fully respect that. These are my two cents regarding this :) It's actually quite sad that the discussion about the price of the moc is more prominent that than the appreciation given to this wonderful moc. Event in my post...
  15. Thanks a lot for the instructions! Very nice model. Well done.
  16. The set is now listed in the lego shop.
  17. I gave this set an "above average" vote simply because: - I don't own the old version - I was really looking forward for this new release - I just think it's enormous - It has an interior - It's the biggest set ever. So it's a must have for me, although not cheap. P.S. Thanks for the detailed review!
  18. Cool, I,like it :) Here the link to his Flickr gallery with more images: https://www.flickr.com/photos/r53/
  19. Here in good ald Germany we already had all the sets in September with this set being the last one.
  20. When I first saw this set I just though "Oh my god is this an ugly vehicle". I didn't like the color scheme as well. Purple! Is that even a color :) But it looks fantastic on wheels and it has rubbers for the tracks. So actually I changed my mind and will probably get one instead of the unfinished flagship technic set. I wonder how it would look like in Porsche orange. Thanks for the review!
  21. @9v system Not interested anymore? Why the mind change? This is still one of my favorite Mindstorm modules. Would be very cool to see it replicated :)
  22. What a cool device. For me it was kind of a mixed bag though. The aspects listed below domrepresent my personal opinion. Yours might vary :) On the plus side I have: + Possibilities almost endless + Extensibility with future smalle Bricks + All in one box + Feature rich programmability + Small lights to fit almost everywhere + Compatibility with Lego IR Temotes + Small yet powerful + Customization stored on device rather controlled from an App + Sound support + No App required to control the Brick once it's configured + 8 programmable light ports That's what came to my mind for the negative aspects: I already invested a lot in SBricks Price almost twice as an SBricks. Bluetooth support came in late, not clear what can be done with it Not clear to me how many motors can be driven by one port Sound support is nice but can be annoying if all the models are fitted with it ;-) Maybe you focused on trains too much Not sure if two power function ports are enough for my technical models To make it clear I really like the idea and the possibilities and if you look to your direct competitors like BuWizz I would've preferred yours over theirs. I din't back Buwizz because I have my SBricks. So in the end it was it's price. I can add an additional SBrick to my model and have 4 "lightning" ports for controlling Lego original LEDs. The downside is that there are no small LEDs available that can be attached like for your Brick. An optional lightning device for the SBrick and I would be happy. While your Kickstarter campain came to a negative end I still believe your project has a lot of potential.
