Efferman's Custom Parts

[Rockbrick]

I remember having a Kyosho RC car at the same time as getting into technic and I was always amazed at how thin the differential was on that model

using 4 or 3 lego 8 tooth standar gears and 2 standard 24 tooth bevelled gears a custom driving ring would then enable the whole diff

to be 3 studs wide....

Hi folks,

today arrived some parts efferman designed...

The fenders for the unimog and some new lift arms. The last I'll use on my U4000 chassis.

Thanks efferman for the great job!!!

The pinholes of the LAs are perfect, there's no need to widen them. The axle holes of the fenders need some "work"...

Just look yourself...

[efferman]

cool, can you please make a picture with unimog tire in center of the fenders?

[Pat-Ard]

Your wish is my command:

I'll try to mount them tonight...

[EyesOnly]

This is getting serious. At some point I will need to open a new branch in my budget...

Oh i know exactly how you feel.

[efferman]

for driven axles? which length would you prefer? for the 42000 hub?

Edited May 7, 2014 by efferman

[dirty bob 456]

For driven axles, ~ 7 studs, for 42000 hubs

[efferman]

is this ok for you?

The picture shows the lowest position, whitch the cv joint makes possible. the suspension arm is 7 studs long and the first three holes on differential side are in a straight row .

[dirty bob 456]

Yes, looks nice.

[efferman]

ok, they are available on shapeways

[efferman]

on my german forum someone has wanted a tilting bucket for his 8043. so i have made this.

edit:

and a rock bucket

Those are magnificent looking buckets, great work.

Out of curiosity looking at my rc version of zbj's mini unimog is there a way to make a compact powered steered axle? looking at the mini diff you have on shapeways looks like it work fine for the size an application on the model but wish I had some more sturdy front steering that won't slip out at the 4 piece "knuckle"

ground clearance is a minor issue to would like to keep the lower half of the assembly being a half stud tall.

on another note i don't' see anything in the thread dealing with the planetary transmission you got rocking on shapeways definitely curious about that!

[efferman]

good morning, for the gears i have a separate topic , but the planetary gear is not produced or ordered yet. thanks that you have ordered two of the 20z diffs. i should mine getting next week and i hope they will work.

sure, more compact, based on the small diffs is possible. which trackwidth and tires? which part is the 4 piece knuckle?

The axles are 11studs wide at where the tires mount using a actuator holder to hold a 20 to 12t then straight to a u-joint then a 2stud lift arm with a smooth hole an cross hole. hope that makes scene. the tires used are 68 7x34r. Hope that helps out some http://www.brickshel...11140627084.jpg the lxf can be found in random stuff

[VKTechnic]

What I'd like to see is a sped-up version of you making these parts, using a screen capture software.

[T_Tank]

Well the current process through shapeways you would not see to much since its sintered nylon powder but a normal 3D printed would be win!

[efferman]

Victor, some month agos i have made a small vid of the progress of a simple part. with many errors

T-Tank, portal hubs if possible?

[T_Tank]

portal hubs would be cool though currently just like some shorter steering knuckles so you could make a 11 stud wide powered steered axle.

Hello Efferman,

Nice work on the rockbucket for the 8043 excavator.

Can you design a functional hightiltbucket for the 8265 or the 42030 wheelloaders?

Would work best with pneumatics.

[efferman]

T-Tank is it this what you search for?

dafgek i will think about it
