July 24, 201311 yr Welcome to Eurobricks! You are definitely off to a good start for only a month! I look forward to seeing more from you. tim
July 24, 201311 yr Welcome to Eurobricks. Your apron feeder could fit in a Great Ball Contraption (GBC).
July 25, 201311 yr Hi Emre! Congrats for your unusual moc. You see these kind of feeders mostly in GBCs. I like it so far. I would suggest reducing the size of the motor housing. Have you thought about using a worm gear driving a 12 tooth gear for the belt? This could cut the size of the housing by half. Anyway, great idea for playing with an excavator and a dump truck.
