    Elements are including where as parts are just about the shaping itself. It's a little more advanced than that but that's the basic jist. so if we get for example a 3024 in a new color, its still going to have the same part ID and part name but it will have a new element ID (usually 6 digits) which distinguishes that part specifically in that color.

    I ordered on November 30th and am still waiting for my parts, it says "in warehouse" still and all Lego said when I rang them is to "wait longer" it's pathetic.

    Super impressed with these new parts, in particular the 2L pinhole beam with offset 1L axle. Also, I wonder if this part could be used like a #1 connector but with a pinhole instead of an axle hole and an extra hole on the end (so basically a 1x2 beam with axle hole): Too bad that its too wide to fit flush again a beam, or in between 2 beams that are spaced 1L apart, anyhow it reminds me of this part

    The only way, besides what @gyenesvi said would be to link a 3L drive ring up to a 2L drive ring, so that they both move at the same time, the 3L would be using the white 3L axle joiner. you could also maybe use some sort of spring loaded latching mechanism like the trigger on a gun, but you would need to probably make one for when the ring is up and down (but not one for if its centered). a more elegant solution would just be to use this part along with a motor, the motor will keep the drive ring from sliding around, unless you apply enough torque to manually turn the motor, in that case you could use a worm gear + spur gear to move this part and keep/ditch the motor

    hi, Yeah it's when I have the grid stepping at 0.1 ldu, I then make sure that the part is centered at 0,0,0 and that it's perfectly horizontal, then sometimes when I rotate it, it rotates, but also rotates slightly in another axis for some reason. I had to close LDCAD and then set the custom rotation stepping in the config file then make the file read only, other wise the config gets overwritten by LDCAD. I'm not sure if this problem is helped by locking the axis by hitting 'v' but that's hardly a solution anyway.

    actually I think two 2L yellow beams would work! (I thought they would pivot too much but I guess the 5L beam locks them in place EDIT: OK it has a little bit of play still but its the closest solution to what I want that O can build, the better solution would be to use that rare pinear actuator bracket (61905) along with 2 pinhole with pin connected to the axle holes with 2L axles

    that disc won't let the central axle spin independently because it has an axle hole the 3x3 commetor will but it wont be able to spin independently to the turntable.
  8. SNIPE
    I mean so that the beam will sit flush against the turntables pinholes. the ideal part here (if it existed) would be a 1L thick disc with 5 pinholes in a + pattern
  9. SNIPE
    I wonder if anyone can find a part that lets me attach a beam 5 via pinholes 2 and 4 into these pins but where theres a 0L gap instead of a 1L gap which the pin joiners have: However it must still be able to rotate independently of both the turntable halves and also still allow for an independent center axle

    not sure how hard it would be to turn, I have the dark bluish gray half but nothing to snap it into.. I only bought that part to check if it would work with the existing linear clutch halves, it does not. The aforementioned new part MAY fit inside of the 28 tooth mini turn table half but I doubt it will click into place. However it doesn't seem to be that much because this set uses the exact combination anyhow :) EDIT yeah in LDCAD it is too wide to fit inside of a 26 tooth turntable half :( but at least you can have an independent axle running thru the middle, or can connect the pins to a 28 or 36 tooth double bevel gear.

    This new part could be used with this to make a stronger linear clutch, the existing white one we have is very bendy, but these 2 parts have embedded pins and so you could just convert the pinhole into an axle hole anyhow: we also get the thin 9L beam with 3 holes in green. it has not been used in a technic set yet, however the fairly new axle 3L with pinhole will be used in the 42205 Corvette stingray

    a flagship with only 2300 parts , flipping heck... Yes I know parts count isn't everything, the number of functions is the highest priority for me but... We will see. I bet its just the basic car functions because, well, otherwise it would be too close to the 1;8 scale flagship super cars.. if its a jeep then why not just get 42110 or last year's 42177...

    What would be the best way to connect 2 motors to 1 hub output port, say from a buwizz 3.0. Preferably where the motors can, in hardware, be set to rotate both in the same direction or in opposing directions. If the pole reversing is done in software as well, then it would override the hardwares pole reverser. I checked some third party options such as a Y cable or a 3 input port replicator, but the port replicator has a fixed 50cm cable and both the Y cable and port replicator don't have pole reversers

    Here's a basic LDRAW mockup of the new 7229 liftarm 3L with centre axle hole

    OMG YES we finally get this part!!!
