I trying to make an animated render for a ~200 part build, and it says it’s going to take 3+ hours, should it take that long?

Sentinel replied to Jim's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAre we allowed to post more than one entry? also, are we allowed to use pullback motors?

Sentinel replied to imurvai's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingCan I use a Nintendo switch controller with brickcontroller 2?

Sentinel replied to Davidz90's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modelingfound this the other day

Sentinel replied to Davidz90's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI knew you would see that. yes that was a prototype that did not work, I needs some tweaking but I didn’t put a lot of work into it. I did manage to make one that worked using a 60t turntable (thinking I could get one oscillation per second on the pendulum), but I was misunderstanding how a pendulum actually worked on a clock and made it so the pendulum swinging stopped the rotation instead of being pushed by the rotation. This put pressure on the pendulum and consequently it only oscillated for a couple seconds Clockmaking takes time btw thanks for the escapement designs

Sentinel replied to Davidz90's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingMaybe I’m just too ambitious, I had trouble integrating the weights into my already finished mechanism, and I had a lot o trouble trying to figure out the escapement. and I want it to run as long as possible without rewinding This is my third and best design for a simple mechanism. Time can be set without winding. Hands are arranged bottom to top: seconds, minutes, hours the two 20t 1/2 thickness gears are there because i needed a 1-1 ratio at exactly that distance, and the full thickness gears are ever so slightly too largethere is a 5-1 gearing on the back as well

Sentinel replied to Sentinel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThanks for everyone’s suggestions, I will look into these

I’m looking into getting a 3d printer for making custom parts, but with a huge selection I don’t know what to get. What do you guys think the best quality for price option is?

Sentinel replied to Davidz90's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI’ve been working on building a clock on and off for the past couple months, I have finally got the really simple and smooth, but now I need a way to power it. I’ve tried weights unsuccessfully, and I think I have an idea for how to power it indefinitely, but it’s going to require some custom parts

Sentinel replied to Milan's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAre the Cada motors and batteries of good or comparable quality?

Sentinel replied to SaperPL's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think you should check this piece out from the new Peugeot race car: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2438

Sentinel replied to weavil's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat’s what I mean
-
Sentinel replied to weavil's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI like the idea, if it could be executed properly I think it would work, at least for flat surfaces
-
Sentinel replied to Zerobricks's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingThat is a neat leaf spring design, but it seems to create a lot of stress on parts not meant for that. I might try that design

Sentinel replied to damjan97PL's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingDude, I really like how you made the front. I’m a big fan of integrating system and technic parts, but not very good myself

Sentinel replied to EdwinSiu10's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingYes, I use Sariel’s app all the time for gear calculations

Sentinel replied to Blake exe's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingNo rubber works great, you can also use part 2515

Sentinel replied to aFrInaTi0n's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI would like the metal parts, but I don’t like to spend money lol

I also ordered best seller parts from Lego on the 29th. I wasn’t even sure they had shipped it but then I received it yesterday. My order was only under 100 pieces though
-
Sentinel replied to Sentinel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think it might also be better with part 6177

Sentinel replied to Sentinel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingDid that fix it? Here is a picture

I’ve recently been looking into CVT designs and I think they are quite interesting. I had an idea today for one using a disk piece so I put together a cheap design to demonstrate it. it doesn’t have the capacity for a large load on the output as of yet, but it’s a good foundational design.

Sentinel replied to Sentinel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI’m using bricksafe, I don’t have youtube

Sentinel replied to Sentinel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingHere is v2 of the clutch, this one I think will work better plus it uses tires which should hold up better than those rubber thingies sorry about the video this is the only way I know to upload it
-
Sentinel replied to Sentinel's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingI think I might go with the clutch I have, but I will have to do some stress tests(and probably should buy some more rubber pieces). I have some Meccano parts that I was going to build a mount out of, and I was thinking of ordering metal pieces from a company called Metal Technic Parts, but I’m still figuring out if I’m even going to do this project
