Hello everybody,

In this topic I'll put the different things I have in progress, (if any of them becomes consistent I'll open its own topic), and this way I won't put unfinished things in the general gbc thread.

At the moment I'm experimenting with GBC, with the parts I have (mostly technic).

As a sample, a test of Akiyuki's fork to fork mechanism,

The truth is that I'm surprised that it manages to move balls.

The conclusion for the moment :

- recording with the mobile phone, turning the crank at the same time and catching the falling balls is difficult.

-I need to register on youtube or instagram or something where I can post videos and not abuse gif files.

I will continue with the trial and error to see what comes out.

Regards

Hello,

A little progress with this version of forks module:

I have made the input with panels, a small wheel (not like akiyuki's which is much bigger) and surrounded it with wheel arch panels.

I think it would work well as an independent module, just by changing the outlet that retains the balls to be caught by the fork.

Next step - play with the inclination and height to join it later to the rest.

Also, here's a picture of my version of the 9V control, so often used in GBC.

 

I like that it has a panic button 😁 .

By the way, what font size do you use in your posts?

I have selected default on my smartphone, and when I post I see that it's bigger than the other users...

Regards

Nice GBCs! GBC is too expensive of a hobby for me though!
