I'm probably going to buy a train remote -
Do u guys understand what I want to do with my servo?? I want to be able to control the turning radius using a servo so that I have that true return to center
-
Dont have no of those either
-
I am wonder if this had been done. I want be able to vary the turning radius using a servo but I don't have a train remote
-
With my trailer crane having 7 axles in the beginning I thought I would have a lot of space but nope. Very limited
-
I'm making the boom yellow because all of my panels and curved pieces are yellow. Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't want to flip the panel because of the change in looks.

I had some time today after class to do some building i have the last and second sections completed, but when i was testing the friction and such, i noticed that the last section moves side to side because of the space inside of the technic plate (5x11) as seen in the LDD picture above. So i have to figure out how to fix that. I really want to get the chassis rebuild and finshed this weekend... high hopes but i really need that done if im going to be in this contest, im falling behind.
-
You cant pull out of the contest I think you are doing great!! Dont give up I have built a very similar thing for the counter weight that is on the crane.
-
It is official we have a winner, I'm better off just watching this monster of a crane be built. Looking forward to the progress!!!
-
sometimes that LEGO icon is distracting tho... HAHA
-
It is similar to this.... http://www.miniature-construction-world.co.uk/gallery/liebherr/hs855hd/IMG_1184.jpg

I'm doing my LDD drawing in between my college classes. I have time this weekend to do a lot of real building
-
Someone has to build this!

ok, i didnt see that topic. sorry for the duplicate -
I saw this and automatically thought LEGO. https://www.facebook.com/Vocativ/videos/1047699621908939/

smaller compact boom design, I dont want to go any smaller for the last section because i have a surprise for the end result and the last section needs to be strong.
-
You use said you used 2 battery boxes as a counter weight, my boom looks like it would be about the same size, but my counter weight idea could be a solution, i need time to do some tests and have time to do actual building and not LDD in the back of the commuter lounge at school. haha
-
Did you see my actuator idea?? i think it is a little longer than 30 studs, im not 100% sure. @Saberwing40k; thanks for your help. I was not sure how is was going to make a true free floating axle for the trailer, i will be making the last axles (or 2) steerable with a servo
-
Kiwi, how long is. was your boom. My old one was 55L with a motor at the base of the boom. but i can definitely see what your talking about, LEGOs get heavy when you add it all up.
-
With the research I did, I found that the trailer has different optional add ons to the trailer. One of which is that the last axle to a free float steering axle, I have to figure out what exactly that is but I'll probably incorporate that. As for the number of axles I'm still debating 3 or 4 because of the weight that will be on the trailer. But i will b building a 3 axle first and test that would with some cans as weight. Thank you both for your boom suggestions regarding the weight, the boom pictures I shared on the first page was a 5 section boom and it was heavy and strong. It was crazy big. What I made on LDD is basically the same thing except the 5th section wouldn't be used. I'm going to cut out a section and make the outside section of the boom smaller. And I can't figure out if this is a good thing or bad
-
Ok, so i have been messing around with LDD for awhile. here are 4 sections of the boom, they are not at full length the boom will be 55L. On top of the second section will be gear racks for extension, the other sections will extend via fishing line. Here is a picture that shows a design of the beams, if you have any questions, i am all ears. Thanks
-
i use bricksafe, very easy to use.
-
Thanks, but now i have a question for all of you, just to get a general idea of how far off of the actual crane you think i should go. I mean have have ideas from all kinds of cranes and i wanted to put them of this one. I did a bunch more research of this crane and im going to do some more cool stuff and still making it more like the original GSK55. Im working on a boom good strong boom design in LDD right now, hoping for 4 good solid sections, but im afraid the first main section will get too large in diameter. we will see. Thanks for all of your support guys!!!
-
I still do not have a lot of pictures to base the trailer crane off of. but i did a bunch of research on the crane and cranes that the company is basing it off of, so i have a little bit more to work off of.
-
time is only only concern. but i think i could manage it
-
I think i am going to do a complete redo on this project. I think i am leaning more towards trying the recreate the actual crane, with a few upgrades. Ill probably make it a 4 axle crane though.
