  Train motor entrails
Posted by: Santeri Piippo - 2018-08-06, 18:25 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (1)

Here's some pics from inside 87574 train motor. It is sealed by 6× Torx T6 screws and requires the appropriate screwdriver to open.

[Image: 20180806_210146.jpg]
First view inside. We can see that there's a two-headed DC motor, with power first transferred through a crown gear and then further stepped down.

[Image: 20180806_210156.jpg]
Insides of the bottom part. The text reads "54756 04-J03".

  [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.6.8 (increased pattern description length)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2018-08-06, 18:19 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (10)

Hello,

this is just a minor change, but I do not want to delay it any longer.
I increased the pattern description length to 1024 chars.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.

Change log:

New features:

  • Increased the description limit to 1024 characters.
As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.


Cheers & Leg Godt

  Interesting build technique in Voltron set
Posted by: Travis Cobbs - 2018-08-01, 5:33 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (7)

Take a look at step 45 here:

[Image: z9gjs7Q.jpg]

Notice in particular the use of two red 1x2 plates underneath the 2x2 plate, instead of simply stacking two 2x2 plates on top of each other. As far as I can tell, this is done because there are only two studs underneath, and the 1x2 plate has more grip than half a 2x2 plate. I don't think I've seen that done in any official LEGO sets that I have put together in the past.

The grip above the 1x2 plate (onto the underside of the 2x2 plate) would be the same as if two 2x2 plates were stacked, but I think the presence of the second 1x2 plate, and the fact that that is up a bit higher, makes it so that the whole bit that is added in step 45 is less likely to come off.

Do you think that is why it's built this way?

  Naming convention: Trophy
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2018-07-29, 19:39 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

Guys,

I'm gonna submit:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ge?P=10172

And I'd like to get some input on the naming. BL currently lists:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ge?P=10172
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ge?P=89801
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...ge?P=72092

where 89801 is already an official and 72092 is on the PT. I like Santeri's "Minifig Trophy Cup  5L" naming scheme a lot and would like to know your opinion about. Obviously this would require a renaming of 89801. (The only problem I could see is that I have forgotten how we measure the "L" and more embarrassing - there is no documentation on our site).

  Motor animation
Posted by: NEMOOZ - 2018-07-29, 19:04 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (5)

Hi everyone,
I am wondering how is it possible to animate motor in LDCad?
I found great LDCAD animation on youtube :

I found Scripting API on Melkert website 

Here the model:
[Image: Motor_animation_view.png]

I am able to rotate the camshaft with this script:

Code:
--[[Sripted by Co for NEMOOZ]]
function register()

--****************************************************************************************
-- "Dissolve" script makes parts disappear progressively from the model ("Build" inverse)
--****************************************************************************************
    local ani=ldc.animation('Motor')

   --Set the length of the animation in seconds
   ani:setLength(10)
    
   ani:setEvent('start', 'motorStart')
   ani:setEvent('frame', 'motorFrame')
end

function motorStart()
     mainSf=ldc.subfile()
end

function motorFrame()

   local ani=ldc.animation.getCurrent()
   local ori=ldc.matrix()
 
   local angle=1800*ani:getFrameTime()/ani:getLength()
   
   local ax1=mainSf:getRef('axe_motor.ldr')
   ori:setRotate(angle, 1, 0, 0)
   ax1:setOri(ori)
end

register()


I searched the forums and found nothing on that particular subject.

Regards
