    Here, I tried to something more complex, and also protons and neutrons are represented. (Still not correctly, as they are not equal in quantity with "electrons".) I don't know how far can this structure be extended in the width, but for sure this module works... ... and can be stacked limitless in height / length, I just named it as protein. I like how it turned out, each module has double hexagonal connections horizontally, and also the layers are double connected vertically (one inner, one outer also hexagonal), so should be a strong structure. EDIT: I could add two more row to the perimeter and keep it stackable (2 modules shown below), here is the LDD file for it.

    Yummi, that is beautiful organic molecule! I forgot this part exists: , it slides perfectly in place even at the tight space (the black one). So it is much nicer now, with proper connections (still 1 always free as described), so far is my favorite! EDIT - DISCLAIMER: This topic escalated much further than expected, so I decided to open a dedicated folder for my files. I updated all the links and pictures, but in quotes they will be invalid. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Strange, at workplace I see the pics (even now), at home PC I don't. Both with Chrome. That had to be a hard party that night!

    That part is my toy as well recently, too bad, that there is no matching 2 ended connector with 120° angle... I try to figure out some nice abstract molecule. For the core You built (), I would only use this part: , and use only the external axles as connection. There must be an outcome, as all the angles are 120° in each directions. EDIT: and here we go, LDD doesn't allow to connect them properly, but I see no reason, why it wouldn't work with real parts. Maybe Stud.io are more forgiving, and all connectors can be properly placed (even the black one in the core). Actually it can create 4 connections, but just tried, at least 3 connections works for sure all the time, leaving 1 free electron always. Choosing which one is free: one (or three? - haven't tested yet) more possibility for genesis, although it will be the pretty same structure in the end. Basically this atom has more reactivity potential to build up molecules.

    Kind of agree, modded all instantly, so I hope they continue improving like with 70592 Salvage M.E.C., which is an exception and detailed on the back as well. Since the Samurai Mech I haven't bought any, so I am really looking forward to the new ones, especially the black looks sick for me. EDIT: just watched the trailer again, the red mech seems pretty scale accurate to me, so some nice gas tanks should be on it's back. I guess LEGO wants to avoid the Emmet's mech case, and this time they make the sets much closer (if even not 100% same) to the movie.

    Massive armour... I am wondering if it is built finally with Sbrick? I can not see sign of the PF receiver's head.

    I like it, although it looks like a love child of a crab and a mammoth (Cramoth?). For the turning problem, my best guess is, that the wheels and connections beeing made of LEGO, there is still some flex while moving, so they DO touch the black armour. Try to remove the closest beams, and test.

    Right, I blame the transparent color I have used. Are You planning to make a kind of periodic table to collect all ideas in the first topic? @masterX244 And You did it very well, You brought a very good one on the table! I can recommend to use LDD for brainstorming, it is like a dictionary - You will more and more familiar with the "words" (parts).
  9. agrof
    @masterX244 That is also a great idea, lot of potential to make weak or strong connections - up to 3 on each side. I couldn't resist to make a simplified version of your idea quickly, (I sketched the minimal connections, not to make it super robust):

    @Didumos69 That is almost the perfect find! I covered the unused pins, and left the free electrons only to understand it better. The first line is evident: But this step is already head scratching... I would say, You just made the LEGO diamond molecule: it needs one element only, and extreme high pressure for crystallogenesis. What about renaming the topic to LEGO Chemistry Lab?

    Strong u-joints. I mean really STRONG (which actually could twist an axle, stall a motor withouth braking). And these parts, which don't crack.
  12. agrof
    Lunchtime, so some more weirdos. Damn, this is so addictive, and superb practice to know the parts and variability.
  13. agrof
    Super creative and unique technical solutions, I really love this one!
  14. agrof
    You made quite an effort by doing it, which is great, good job! I just scrolled through, maybe some steps could be saved (for the future - check some instructions from Madoca), it can be followed. p.s.: Khmm... it seems You have patience if needed, could You use it for proper sentences in the comments too, young padavan?

    Although it is not the smallest, I tried to improve the hexagonal structure. By using an axle pin extra in third dimension as @DrJB mentioned it is just too dense, not pleasuring to my eyes. Of course it can be done with layers without offset too. With a bit tweak it looks much nicer, maybe comes handy as hexagon primitive: What I am wondering about, if we can find a structure, which offers angled connections in each directions, thus looks more "random".
  16. agrof
    @Victor Imaginator That is a nice one, another direction of parts usage to think about. Meanwhile... I joined to the dark side of the primitive. And one super primitive as for the smallest?

    I work with 3D software, just threw it together in 5 mins to fulfill my curiosity, that's why it is not scaled and fine tuned. But shhhhhh, my boss might read this.

    @I_Igor I think your list fits better to this topic: Although it is close to this one, here is the topic more specialized down to the genetics, so to say.
  19. agrof
    This would be the ideal case, although there is an issue with assembly order in some cases - marked with red. Here is the model in stp format - ATTENTION! it is way oversized (137x137x137 mm), and also no thickness tolerances are considered. In case anyone needs in other 3D format, just PM me. Let's dig further with available LEGO parts.

    As owner of many Exo-Force sets, I love it, the movement is fluent enough, and the look is nailed! The steering looks interesting, waiting for the final video.

    Thanks for the visualisation @aeh5040. I have the feeling, in these 3D printer beaten days all the variations were and are tested by LEGO, the selection of which comes into production appends on experimental practical use. My thoughts: In the first row the missing ones are odd for me, meaning, what would be the advantage to have am/pf compared to the axle pin (more material, thus needs an extra stud place in build), or the am/af compared to a longer axle? This might be a reason why we don't see them. Some of those even cover the same functionality in practice - for example in the complete second row I can think only usable the am/af 90° with interlocking connections in 2 directions while saving 1 stud space. The others don't offer any extra compared to the actual variations (pins and connectors combo): 1 interlocking with 1 rotating connections or 2 rotating connections, which possibilities are already there. In the last row maybe the af/af 90° could be useful, the af/pf 90° covers pretty much the pf/pf 90° (on the very left) with different pins. This is indeed entertaining to dig in depth.

    Very cool looking wagon (RS6?), and clever brake system!
  23. agrof
    Yes, it is flat - as mentioned it is to minimize the surfaces, looks it works in LEGO universum as well.
  24. agrof
    Never thought about this, but for some reason it reminds me for metal foams or even more for nanotubes. AAAAnd as I am writing this... it popped into my mind: hexagon is one of the basic geometry to minimize surfaces in nature, so here is my version (but 2D only): Edit: Is there any part in LEGO to make it 3 dimensional?
  25. agrof
    Eeeeeer, I think it is the same. Almost all technic parts - but the basic ones for sure - are variations of the connection primitives. A beam is a bunch of pinholes. An axle is a bunch of 1L axles. And all technic parts contains connection primitives, that is the key of a building system. EDIT: I made a second thought, I got it now. You are looking for combinations of the core elements, which are not produced yet, and if could be described by a mathematical rule, correct? Example: axle with axle hole - like the pin with pinhole? Sorry for confusion.
