Technic 1992 - Philippe Hurbain - 2016-10-17 Oldies but goldies... 8868 - Air Tech Claw Rig - Dump Truck - Philippe Hurbain - 2016-10-17 ![]() Alternate model of 8868 set. Download MPD (OMR compliant) Known errors: none. Done with LDCad 1.6 alpha 4 Random notes... - Max's work on an old model (http://forums.ldraw.org/thread-21839.html) made me want to try an old studded Technic set. What better one than this model - with a pneumatic state machine! - Old building instructions were definitely not for the faint hearted - only 24 pages for this model! The average quality of the scan doesn't help... - Pneumatic tubing remains tedious... - Some angles in the skip are only (close) approximations - I think it actually relies on part flexibility.

As far as I can remember from the real world model you are right, it relies on part flexibility. Anyway - this reminds me, that I need some spare parts, cause time has eaten the plastic softener of some parts... /Max RE: 8868 - Air Tech Claw Rig - Dump Truck - Stefan Frenz - 2020-02-05 (2016-10-17, 13:07)Philippe Hurbain Wrote: Alternate model of 8868 set.Hi Philippe, thank you for building and contributing this model! I searched for the main model without luck. If it's not done yet, I would appreciate to jump in and try my best (with a bit of fear about all those pneumatic hoses which I installed many times in reality so many years ago).

Drawback, the band is thinner, making it thicker would require to add a scaled cylinder element in the library (and in Studio custom elements)... Attached these templates! (To be put in C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\LDCad\templates\path) RE: 8868 - Air Tech Claw Rig - Dump Truck - Stefan Frenz - 2020-02-09 This is awesome! ![]() ![]() RE: 8868 - Air Tech Claw Rig - Dump Truck - Stefan Frenz - 2020-02-09 (2020-02-09, 17:23)Philippe Hurbain Wrote: Drawback, the band is thinner, making it thicker would require to add a scaled cylinder element in the libraryAlso thank you for pointing there. With a scaled 4-4cyli2.dat (done with text editor) as donPart included in the mpd, the rubber has correct thickness and the required file space is very very tiny. ![]() RE: 8868 - Air Tech Claw Rig - Dump Truck - Stefan Frenz - 2020-02-11 ...May I ask: is there a LQ alternative for the 9V cable (path\elecCable2Brick), too? |
