    Hi, When designing a MOC/MOD with lego technic it is very hard to change something after building it, because everything is locked in, three dimentionally. Axles are not so bad because you can push or pull them out, the real problem is with pins, and with axles with stops blocked off. To fix this, I could just use axles without stops when prototyping a MOC/MOD, but the problem with pins is still there. So, I had the idea of having some custom pins without the stops, so that they can be pushed out again without having to dismantle half of the model. Here are the pins needed: frictionless pin 2L with bar thru hole, without stop frictionless pin 3L with bar thru hole, without stop frictionless pin 1L with axle 2L and bar hole, without stop frictionless pin 2L with axle 1L and bar hole, without stop frictionless pin 1.5 with bar thru hole, without stop frictionless pin 1L with stud and bar thru hole, without stop (frictionless can be structural like frictioned) This would be very handy, and then when the design is finalized you just replace the prototype pins with real lego pins. What are your thoughs on this? Regards, Snipe

    Ah, I fixed it sort of; you have to make sure you left click the part in the parts list first, then right click > add to favourites. You cannot just right click cause it wont select it and therefore it wont be added to the favourites. A fix for this would be cool however.

    Hi, I am trying to add the new technic parts into my favourites folder, the option to add them is not grayed out, But when I click it ,nothing seems to happnen anymore, therefore I cannot add any more parts. This means I have to search for them manually, this slowing building time down. Is there any fix for this?

    If you have a liftarm slide through the gap that is in the thin 3x3 liftarm (the one with the curved support) then you have an actuator arm with very little wobble, and if you put axles through a bunch of those 3x3 beams it will also make a string housing.

    Just noticed the new 20 tooth double bevel idler clutch gear but in Light Bluish Gray rather than blue, it's not in an official set yet, but I can see the real part here so there might be a chance of it appearing in a 2019 set perhaps:

    Would be cool to make the forks shift left/right like on many real forklifts.

    Are there any new parts in the lego 42082, 42081, and 42079 sets? except for the new pnunatic switch. Regards, Snipe.

    Hi, I recently looked at using Lego Universe instead of Lego Words since it supports SNOT, and has more parts. I have a question however: Since the building engine is based on LDD and LDD has/had 'universe mode', can I use any parts currently in LDD in lego universe by importing the lxfml file?. If so then that would be epic. I know that the server is down but I don't intend on using online play anyhow. I just need to figure out how to get the game and get it running. So far no luck. Regards, SNIPE

    Here are the facts: old lego was better than it actually was because everything is better as a kid. They had good functions but lego exausted what was possible with studded parts. so they made studless parts (though some old parts are indeed studless). now we have more advanced axles, axle-pins, connectors, and mechanical elememts. I'm 'good' at technic design and advanced techniques but I always hit a rock when making or designing MOCs. So for lego to design all these technic sets in such a short period of time is quite good. I honestly don't know how they do it (genuinley). Old parts are prone to cracking too

    Thanks alot!

    Thanks!. Here are some photos of the orange rotary gear changeover catch , the yellow gear clutch extention and the blue 20 tooth idler clutch double bevel gear thingy. https://bricksafe.com/pages/Povratnik https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=165928#T=S&C=7&O={"color":7,"iconly":0} https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=165882#T=C https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=35186#T=C&C=3

    Hi, Does anybody know if the parts from the technic 42083 bugatti chiron are in the ldraw parts libary yet (as official or unnofficial parts). I wanna make a gearbox and need the parts to do so. Replicating them in LDD is too confusing. I have the 42083 set x2. one is half built, so no dismantaling it, and the other is getting returned to lego. there are none of the new parts for sale locally on bricklink yet. regards, SNIPE.

    I can confirm that the new orange shifter does work with a clutch ring either side of it. it also works with 4 clutch rings but two gears are meshed at once, which does not mean "it will jam indefinetlley, let's give up".

    I plan to first have an openable engine cover. I have a bad habit of getting to excited and wanting to do too much. Therefore making it too hard on myself to implement. So I am sticking to one thing at a time.
  15. SNIPE
    I bet it will fit inbetween two clutch rings if one is moved up by say half a stud so that the groove on the orange selector fits in both clutch rings. I'll try to figure something out when I get the parts.
  16. SNIPE
    I was expecting the engine cover to open but it seems to be fixed shut though I'll put it on my "tomod" list. I think this is the best technic set ever made. Some more mods I'd like to add are: red 4L center differential in gearbox. add servo motor(s) to gearbox orange pieces so that when the servo turns left it moves the orange shifter into the left gear, when the servo turns left it moves the orange shifter into the left gear, and when the servo is centred it moves the orange shifter in between the two gears (i.e neutural). a motor for drive and steering. brick build trans red rear lights. Maybe with PF led's wishful thinking: A motor/motors for spoiler adjustment, doors, bonnet and engine cover. looking forward to building it, Regards Snipe

    I'm pissed off now.

    Is it available online from june 1st? or in stores only. I have a VIP card.
  19. SNIPE
    I'll probably squeeze a red 4L differential in to add to the color vomit and so it has a centre differential. I think color vomit for the mechanisms is cool in a way, for example the blues reds yellows, blacks and grays of the 42070. It makes it look more advanced in a lego-y sort of way, where as all gray looks more like metal metal and more metal.

    The new yellow part has 8 notches so possibly less backlash? (assuming it is a driving ring extension).
  21. SNIPE
    Looking at the parts list, I wonder what the yellow elastic band is for and it seems there are 2L pins in blue. Also, is that a minifig stud shooter in LBG ? under the 1x2 LBG curved slope. edit: I got mixed up with all the blues, after getting a better view I can say that they are indeed regular blue friction pins with axle. The LBG pieces are indeed two minifig stud shooters but without the triggers or ammo. There is a small LBG wheel which I think will be used as a pulley for the yellow rubber band, probably for engine detail.

    Wow the parts pack is INCREDIBLE. And the design and functions are again, INCREDIBLE. I'd also like to talk about the box and twin booklets - INCREDIBLE.
  23. SNIPE
    I just noticed something in this threads very first post: '2x5 panel in LBG'. Don't you mean 3x5? or is this a new part all together? Regards, Snipe
  24. SNIPE
    The placement was just guessed here. I'll have to wait for the real part.
  25. SNIPE
    Here's an idea I have for a possible use for the new orange shifter pieces to move 4 clutch rings. The orange piece will be driven by a geared down motor, to make an automatic transmission. I have only added the ider gears for claity, you can add what ever rations you want using more gears. *note that the orange worm gear is representing the new part since it is not in LDD.
