alanburchill Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Here is my latest version of the Brian Davis "Gates" module. His module actually appeared for a few seconds in Brickumentary Doco... It is still rough but this module can count up to 5000 balls, and i plan to add another gates to increase that to 10000. Quote
JJ2 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I have an old GBC sitting around in my room taking up space do you think I should finish it? It has 2 things it can do. The first one is just a little (slide) that brings it to the end, the second is a loop that picks it up and loops around bringing it to the "end" that is not finished the start bucket A conveyor belt it to the loop Here you can see the part of the loop that picks up the ball The unfinished end Thee axles are where the drive is transmitted throughout the model Quote
9v system Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Yes I think you should finish it. I would love to see a video of it running when finished. Quote
JJ2 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Yes I think you should finish it. I would love to see a video of it running when finished. OK thanks do you know of any lifting mechanism and doesn't take more than 1-2 studs under it? maybe akiyuky's design? But doesn't use any rare parts? Quote
BachAddict Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Amazing! It is hard to believe that this is all from one person. I see that his Invisible Lift was sitting at the end of the table but not connected, and I didn't see his Bucket Factory included. When I built the bucket factory, the sliding parts developed slightly more friction after running for no more than an hour, and I was unable to run it reliably again. Quote
RohanBeckett Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 the Ball Factory? a slight squirt of silicon spray can help out a LOT with rubbing/spinning parts, and not cause any damage to lego parts. Quote
BachAddict Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Maybe my silicon spray isn't thin enough, because it doesn't help sliding parts under low loads. Quote
ALittleSlow Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) OK thanks do you know of any lifting mechanism and doesn't take more than 1-2 studs under it? Perhaps a rake <http://greatballcontraption.com/wiki/Rake>, or Archimedes' screw <http://greatballcontraption.com/wiki/Archimedes_screw>, or clock lift <http://greatballcontraption.com/wiki/Clock_lift>. I don't have good pictures handy, but Bill Bourn built a pump with the piston laid horizontally as part of his balldozer module. You might find it in a Brickfair, VA youtube video.

Thanks for the advice! I will try the rake. I dont have enough pieces for the clock lift and the screw Quote
Maico Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Hi, I have uploaded some building instructions of one of my GBC modules. You can find them here: Quote
9v system Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Hi, I have uploaded some building instructions of one of my GBC modules. You can find them here: i see do you plan to make more instructions? if so could you do one of your pneumatic ones? Quote
Maico Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I do plan to make more of these. Pneumatic ones will be long term... Quote
9v system Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I do plan to make more of these. Pneumatic ones will be long term... Could I do some instructions of your modules? I will give credit Quote
Maico Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Feel free... Other people are making instructions of Akiyuky's models... Quote
9v system Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Feel free... Other people are making instructions of Akiyuky's models... thanks might do that small red stepper one first can you show me some pictures of it? Quote
Maico Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I don't mean to be rube, but you will have to do with my youtube video's... I hardly take any pictures. Just one or two for the building instructions... Do you mean this one: That is not a pneumatic one... Quote
Philo Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Maico, Congratulations for your BIs! Maybe you could link to one of your videos at proper start time to show this module in action? Quote
Maico Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Philo! When finishing Bi's I will try to make a short movie of that module on an event. And then let these video's point to each other. Quote

I'm already half way done with the instructions. Quote
alanburchill Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Here is my GBC I display at the Rochedale State School Fete 2015 in Brisbane Australia on 11th September 2015. Quote
9v system Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I have now finished the instructions for the red steps module by Maico. you will find them on my brickshelf account ( just click the link in my sig) Quote
Maico Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 we still have to wait before the folder will be made public... Quote
9v system Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 we still have to wait before the folder will be made public... Ok when it is public there a two things to know about, first the backside of the stairs is missing as I could not get the pistons to fit at the right angle( could you fix that?) second it is in LDD Quote
