[MOC] Volvo L250G Wheel Loader
weavil replied to M_longer's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Impresive work. Looks perfct. Like the touch with the reflective tape. Your old one looks way better with the new bucket. -
It would be cheaper to cut the 32x32 yourself. Instead of paying Lego to cut it in 1/2 or 1/4's.

Bump Steer
weavil replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Well even if everything is lined up perfect, slack/backlash will remain. Thanks to Lego fault tolerance (spacing of studs) everything on the front will seem a little loose or wiggle a bit. -
Bump Steer
weavil replied to SNIPE's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
With the angle of the suspension arms, the steering linkage has to match perfect. The angle has to be the same - if the linkage mounts 1 stud below the height of the top arm the it must mount at the same point on the diff housing. And the same for horizontal distance from the suspension arm. Basically make a rectangle with the arm and linkage. -
And the only way they would bring back an old part is if it can be used in 2 or more sets, or it is a last resort.

Efferman's Custom Parts
weavil replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I have an idea for the linear valve. The dark red is for A, green is for C. Pull out for air to A, Push in for air to C, and Center to close ALL. Also NOT to scale, just a layout of design. Larger... http://www.bricksafe.com/files/weavil/Ideas/Untitled.png . It has 2 holes in the top and bottom for a retainer clip/piece and a hole in the back for a vent. -
My daughter seen the new Lego Friends Shopping Mall and fell in love. She can't wait to get it and I'm trying to hold off till her birthday. So in the mean time I started making her a mall to hold her over till she gets the actual Shopping Mall. Fresh baked bread is being placed for the days customers. The new baker is a really fast learner. Just on the job three days and has been promoted to crescents! She making her second one already. It time for an hour of relaxing when you been shopping all day. It's a little empty now but they have more supplies on order! Nails. Feet. "What about my pet? I always take them shopig!" We got you covered! Pet daycare while you shop. Plus some pet supplies. Food, toys, accessories, and treats. They also have a guide book too. (of course my little helper had to lend a hand.) Another happy customer and happy pet! I did a modular style to each one. Planing to add in the empty space a combo of the Juice Bar and Cafe.

Brickshelf Find- Garbage Truck

Well that's from the small amount of solid color pellets added for the color not mixing well in the hopper before being fed to the molds. However, some color mixes have a specific temp range for production to maintain that color and with a long run of a part it can cause fluctuations in mold temps affecting the color. With dying a part, light color parts will be more open to a dye then dark color parts. You have to think of white as "absent of color" and black as "full of color". So a tan axle pin w/o friction will dye - it's a light color, a blue axle pin w/ friction will not - it's a dark. Shinny parts hardness keep it from being dyed.

Matt vs shinny was discussed some time ago (1 or 2 years ago). I had found (for the post) that a matt finish is from a lower temp and shinny is from higher temps. Also the cooling time differs as well and will cause a micro amount of shrinkage for shinny parts, hence shinny parts have a tighter fit.

That's why some people dump a MOC, MOD, or what ever on Mocpages - store the pictures on Brickshelf/Flickr to talk more about it on a forum - then dump it into Rebrickable for people to build. I check all of those every day, so if I see it on one I will skip it on the other. Facebook - a picture and a link Forums - a couple pictures and/or a video Oh there is two ways a person could dislike your style (I don't mind). 1. They have dialup. 2. They are using a smartphone/tablet.

Lego PF Connector Internals
weavil replied to S.I's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I just remmbered that it has to be like Omikron shows. The old style, because later they mad a "double density" IDE cable that had twice the wire and smaller gauge. The size pictured should handle the volts and amps with no problem. I probably have half a mile of the stuff.
