SNIPE Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) 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 Edited January 4 by SNIPE Quote

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. Edited January 5 by SNIPE Quote
SNIPE Posted January 5 Posted January 5 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 Quote

Probably stiff enough to only be necessary in extreme circumstances as a clutch, but there ought to be other uses for it as well Quote

Also this is first set after release new pullback motor which is use pullback motor but not technic set. And I still wating Dark azure and Dark blue 1L liftarm. Quote

I don't see a 1L gap within a single pin joiner - just the small slot in its middle. And the gap betwern the two pin joiners surely is not what you mean, is it? Quote

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 Edited January 5 by SNIPE Quote

Or if you don't want connect with turntable, this will work. 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.

Stereo Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) If you have an axle stabilizing the middle, you can use 2L liftarms: Nothing else can use the space between the turntable pinholes anyway though (3x3x3, sort of), so maybe it's simpler to just offset the clutch mechanism so it sits in that space instead of in the turntable's ring. Edited January 6 by Stereo Quote
Timewhatistime Posted January 6 Posted January 6 There are rims which nearly match the conditions - except for the diameter (about 3,5 L). So they won't fit within the 3 L x 3 L space, but have to be situated above the turntable. Moreover, they are thicker than 1 L (about 1,5 L). Example: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=60208#T=C Or maybe you could built something with several connectors? I would begin with two of these https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=27940 or two of these https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32184 or maybe one of those new parts sitting flush against the turntable's pinholes https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2393 Or maybe you could use three 5 L liftarms side by side (and stabilized by the outer pinholes which aren't used to lead axles through them). Or maybe this rare part could serve your purposes: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=61905#T=C&C=85 Quote
Timewhatistime Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) Is a height of 2 L allowed? Then you could attach two parts 2393 (with their pins pointing upwards) and connect them by a transversally mounted liftarm (which then provides the center pinhole for your contraption). Edited January 6 by Timewhatistime Quote
SNIPE Posted January 6 Posted January 6 (edited) 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 Edited January 6 by SNIPE Quote
1gor Posted January 8 Posted January 8 @gyenesvi, I use this link as liftarm https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4586&idColor=95#T=C&C=95 Quote

So is this exactly half a stud thick? Quote

So is this exactly half a stud thick? Yes, they are half a stud thick, but very, very flexible. Not only do they use less material than normal half beams, they also seem to be made out of a softer plastic. Quote
