Sariel's Tools for AFOLs: version 2.0

[Sariel]

No, I'm not back, have no fear, just passing through sharing something that may benefit some of you, and then I'll be out of your hair. Long story short, I have reworked the few online tools I have created previously, updated them, upgraded then with extra options and added a few new ones. Some of them were written 10+ years ago and it was showing, so now they're all standarized, built around the same core using Bootstrap Shards, which ensures good cross-browser compatibility, decent handling of mobile devices and optimization for use with touchscreens, plus some modern bells and whistles that just make everything better. There are now 11 tools total available for you at tools.sariel.pl and here's a complete list with updates. Enjoy!

Gear Ratio Calculator: 

• overhauled layout with tabs
• checkbox for adding planetary wheel hubs to the final gear ratio
• updated list of motors
• option to select not only type of a motor but also number of motors
• new 'Gears and numbers of teeth' tab helping to identify which gear has how many teeth
• all gear images rendered anew for more clarity
• planetary gear ratio calculator now calculates ratios for all three possible setups
• detection of incompatible gears and warning when you select them (this mainly applies to 14t gear and worm gears)
• annular 60t gear added to both standard and planetary calculator
• updated, clearer images in the gear coupler
• gear coupler now includes combinations involving the 28t gear

Pulley Ratio Calculator: 

• overhauled layout
• added images representing parts
• updated list of motors
• selecting a motor now provides calculation for torque too, not just for speed

Model Scaler: 

• overhauled layout
• adjustable canvas size to accommodate really huge images
• all boxes can now be collapsed to save screen space
• solved the issue where the canvas with lines would move up/down the screen but labels stayed in place

Unit Converter: 

• overhauled layout

Angles Chart: 

• brand new tool, lists angles created by single LEGO pieces; every piece can be zoomed in and the list can be filtered by categories

Wheels Chart: 

• overhauled layout
• the list can be filtered by categories
• up/down indicators added to column headers to make sorting clearer

Monorail Network Planner: 

• overhauled layout
• code fixes for modern browsers

Town Plot Planner: 

• overhauled layout
• code fixes for modern browsers

Bricksafe Thumbnail Helper: 

• overhauled layout
• clearer indicators for selected images

Incredible! After your Karen-like butthurt departure from eurobricks, all while acting like a spoiled brat, and accusing EB and staff they haven't treated you like you are Diva, you now have the decency to come back and promote your work, on this very same site...all with the "Don't worry, I am not back"...like someone cares if you are not coming back...presumptuous, pathetic and arrogant, as always. Good riddance.

Thanks for scaler improvement (I use it even for my non Lego project; just to calculate proportions and it helped to solve lots of doubts that I had in past for some vintage products)

Thank you for providing and updating all of these tools, and letting people know about the updates.  I have found the wheel tool especially helpful.

Nice to see you back, Sariel, even if it's just for a moment.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Sariel.

I wanted to give a short but earnest "Thank you" for the work you put in these tools. I have used the Model Scaler for all of my MOCs, and I will continue to do so for the next one.

You are talking like a child.

Sariel here is offering and improving free tools for the communtity. He came back here so people that don't follow social media much (like me) still know the updates happened and can take advantage of the new features.

I disliked the way Sariel left as well and I don't agree with everything that was said, but I can see why he reacted the way he did back then.

Someone with 12 Posts should be very careful about how he speaks here. I don't know why you even care if Sariel is in this Forum or not, considering you yourself might just as well not be here with an average of like 1 post a month at max.

Pls no don’t start this again

@Sariel Thank you for doing this! Your toolbox is very helpful for builders on all levels. I believe 99% of the community welcomes your ideas and contributions to the Technic theme. You are a mature man overcoming "criticism" of worst kind, not a robot, but a guy with Polish mentality having a soul and feelings - I can perfectly live with that .
