Hi folks,

Jan, a friend of mine, couldn't sleep last night, so he thought of building
something, which couldn't be able to get apart again. And he was succesful. See
the structure at:

Does anyone got some ideas of getting "it" apart again?

Regards,

Holger

(...) See (...) My starting point would be to use a large Technic beam to push out the Technic beams from the grey connectors. Then the four vertical Technic bricks would be loose and then you can take easily apart the other bricks. Greetings, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) See (...) If the 1x6 beams that form the outer perimeter are held by pegs, they will just pop off. If axels are used, they can be pushed out with another axel. It looks like the side of the structure (left facing in pictue) will pop off. is (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) See (...) Use a long axle to push the axles out of the 1x6 beams along one of the sides. You ought to be able to start removing bricks from there. Will Bricksburg Fire and Rescue: www.crosswinds.net/~hokie GoB Bricksburg Depot: (URL) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)
  Re: How to get apart that structure?
 
Ouch. My first thought was that you could push the axles through, but looking closer, I see those are axle connectors, and so those are two length 3 axles, not one length 6 axle. So, the axles cannot be pushed through them. Hmmm. It looks to me that (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) See (...) I'll add my 2c. I'd be trying to lift one of the "outside" 1x6 beams off the 1x2 plates, just enough to slide it off the #3 axle. If that fails, use some thin-nosed pliers to remove one of the axles. ROSCO (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) I mocked up a DAT file of the design. I took the liberty of a small change to overcome the most common disassembly technique (the wiggle the plates out method).

I'm gonna build this thingy, and see what i can do. Another idea, you could market this as "Jan's Unseperatable box", and sell it to people! Josh P.S. I'll post later after i see what i can do... (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

OK, so far the consensus is, conventionally, no? There is a rather similar assembly in 8094 Technic Control Center, as can be seen in the assembly instructions for this model, it starts on page 16 and continues through for a few pages, where the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Some ideas: Bolt cutters. Only one axle-set, or one technic beam, would need to go. Drive over it. Chances are, at least one piece will be salvagable. Glue a very thin paperclip or wire into a groove in an axle. Yank the axle out. Depending (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.general)
