  1. Sorry for the late response, have been in middle of some life events and it is unlikely I will get to this project until we are finished moving..... Blown away by the quality of work here, I just posted for the first time and somebody's already found some sample project and got a prototype alongside some witty comments (as any fun forum should have). Thank you all, I hope to be back once we're ready to buy parts
  2. First time posting on Eurobricks so please correct me if I am doing something wrong! Seeking advice on how to best build a curved part of a conveyor belt. Japanese sushi train conveyor belt is what I hope to recreate, they look like this in real life Static Image of the belt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_belt_sushi#/media/File:Sushi_conyeyor_chain_3.jpg Straight portions can be done using tracks and treads but I cannot come up with a simple conveyor belt mechanism that can turn corners smoothly (can start with either 45 or 90 degrees, not necessarily 180 like the video). I have found a smaller scale project but only has 1x2 miniature sushi - I am hoping for at least 6x6 so that it can carry real sushi plates. Idea is very similar to airport carousel (baggage claim with similar curved surface like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDiEYIW528Y) and also conveyor belts used in factories (stacked surface https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOAIySHPBlM) but I cannot find any LEGO technic sample projects with curved conveyor belt anywhere. Any suggestions for how to build bent/curved conveyor belt that can carry small sushi plates the size of a palm?
