That one is under "Minifig Flame"

Aack! This would’ve been a nice part to 3D Scan.

Hmm, yes it would have. So would other parts with weird curvy surfaces like the
flame/seaweed piece (considering the fact that the first dragon’s body parts
have all been completed, I’m surprised that I can’t find that part anywhere).

I could try to have one of my students take a stab at it in 3DStudio or
Rhino, though. If I can get ahold of one to look at I’ll put the part on my
list of “requests”.

I doubt you’ll find it in stores anymore, but Bricklink prices are pretty
reasonable, as long as you’re not going after the white ones.

Aack! This would’ve been a nice part to 3D
Scan. But short of FedExing the part to me at my hotel (as I don’t have one on
hand) that’s probably not gonna happen..

(I realize no one will really take my offer to model parts digitally seriously
until I produce some DAT results... Hey, I’m working on it!!)

I downloaded copies of LDraw and MLcad a few days ago, and I’ve been building
digital versions of a few of my models, but I ran into a couple of problems:
1. Using MLcad, I couldn’t get this
piece to close flush to this piece.
There was either a little gap at the top (just enough to be annoying), or a huge
gap at the bottom (enough to really stand out). I haven’t tried out any of the
other interfaces, but I juggled the numbers by hand a bit, and I was able to
come up with a clean match after about 4 tries. If anyone is interested in
borrowing the numbers, here’s the DAT file:
0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 “Custom”
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 -39 -48 -4 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 30200.DAT
1 57 -76 -121 -5 0 0.686637 -0.727 0 0.727 0.686637 1 0 0 2418B.DAT
0
2. While I was building my latest model, I discovered that part
#2463 has portions inside the lower
corners that aren’t shading with the rest of the part. I noticed this because
when I attached it to a different colored part, I could see the studs through
the gaps on the outside of the base, but I couldn’t on the model (yes, I checked
to make sure the studs were lined up correctly). If you look at this from
either outside angle, you can see that the portions of the yellow studs that are
sticking up inside of the part are still visible, but there’s a thin black line
intersecting them, which is where the interior panel isn’t shading with the rest
of it. Is that intentional?
0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 “Custom”
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 4.477 -131.572 -9 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2463.DAT
1 14 -35.522 -106 1.477 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.DAT
1 14 4.478 -106 -38.523 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.DAT
0
3. And finally, this is a long shot, but I’ve got to ask anyways...does anyone
have any plans to make a DAT file for the Ninja wrap?
If you’re only replying to part of this, please FUT only to the appropriate
groups.
