"Speaking of rationalization, I would be very happy if we could find a coherent
naming scheme for parts 3651, 32039, 6553 (and 32013?) - I can't possibly
remember 6553 name...".
So here is a first suggestion:
Currently we have:
3651.dat Technic Connector
32039.dat Technic Connector with Axlehole
6553.dat Technic Pole Reverser Handle
32013.dat Technic Angle Connector #1
32034.dat Technic Angle Connector #2
32016.dat Technic Angle Connector #3
32192.dat Technic Angle Connector #4
32015.dat Technic Angle Connector #5
32014.dat Technic Angle Connector #6
But, on the Parts Tracker 3651 has already been updated to
3651.dat Technic Bush with Pin Hole 90 Degrees and 2 Studs
Technica (http://isodomos.com/technica/technica.html) uses:
3651.dat Piston rod, 77
32039.dat Catch, w/ cross hole
6553.dat Catch
32031.dat Angle connector, #1
32034.dat Angle connector, #2 (180deg)
32016.dat Angle connector, #3 (157.5deg)
32192.dat Angle connector, #4 (135deg)
32015.dat Angle connector, #5 (112.5deg)
32014.dat Angle connector, #6 (90deg)
Bricklink (http://www.bricklink.com) uses:
3651.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector
32039.dat Technic, Axle Connector with Axle Hole
6553.dat Technic Pole Reverser Handle
32013.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #1
32034.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #2 - 180 degrees
32016.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #3 - 157.5 degrees
32192.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #4 - 135 degrees
32015.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #5 - 112.5 degrees
32014.dat Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #6 - 90 degrees
I'd like to suggest:
3651.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Bush with 2 Studs
32039.dat Technic Connector Axlehole to Axlehole
6553.dat Technic Connector Axlehole to Axle
32013.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Axlehole #1
32034.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Axleholes #2 (180 degree)
32016.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Axleholes #3 (157.5 degree)
32192.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Axleholes #4 (135 degree)
32015.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Axleholes #5 (112.5 degree)
32014.dat Technic Connector Peghole to Axleholes #6 (90 degree)
I'd like to seek the opinion of the community. As usual, I am seeking ideas and
suggestions, but not hoping for concensus, so I will make the final decision
based on what I read here.
This is not another opportunity to open up the "just use BrickLink names"
discusson.
