Hi, I found LDD a very usefull software but I'm quite new. Just after a few bricks I found allignment problem when I work with beams and peg connector. I Always check if all is alligned but missalignment occurs. Maybe the beam is less then 1 mm backward/farward or 0.1 on degree but peg connector require perfect allignment. In fact in this case I can insert, for example, a cross axle connecting 2 beams but not a peg. It' really annoying! I have Always to stop and try to re-build. Have you some suggestion? P.S. I would like to attach an example but I don't know how to upload an lfx file. It says only image file and using an url doesn't work.

Just finished to re-build the A model but it was useless: the bucket wheel doesn't work well. There is nothing to do, its a structural problem due to the huge weight and the jaws of the 4 rack pieces. Then I decided to let the XL-motor to drive all the mechanism except the bucket wheel. Most of you installed a L-motor just inside the wheel but it's not more avaible on Lego Shop while one the external sites it's too expensive (~20€). The M-motor has the same dimension and is quite similar in terms on torque and RPM. Can you confirm this? If yes I will buy the M one, otherwise I'll pick the XL-motor (Lego Shop sells it at only 12€).

I noticed that the huge bucket ring is not so rigid, resulting in a continuous distortion while rotate. I'm thinking to mount the 12z gears on springs in order to have a better connection and limiting the distorsion. What do you think about that? Can it help a bit?

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried that configuration but things went bad...the clutch slip all the time so the problem wasn't the velocity but the resistence of the buckets mechanism. I paid attention on all the gears through the steps, I know huge model are very sensible to this but I miss something. I will re-assemble from 6th packages.

I'm just finished the A model but I'm not really satisfied about the movements. Buckets move really slowly and jerkily, like other model I saw on YouTube. I read all of your posts looking for improvements but they are too invasive for me. Many add several power units and rc controllers but I prefer to let the gearbox quite the same. I have not a clear idea yet, other models I have work well and I have never though to improve a model, so I have no experience. Maybe a second power near the gearbox or "inside" the bucket wheel activated by the gearbox. Have you ever though something similar or other suggestions? Thanks
