(...) Bruce, I was glad you mentioned these again. I think the models are fantastic. I especially love this one: (URL) It makes me think that a construction equipment theme would work well for a future series of X-Pods. :) Best regards, Allan B. (...)

(...) We have a Dimension BST by Stratasys -- though it is brand spankin new. I was told it has a resolution of .21mm which should work just fine for a Lego connection. I also have the option of using a ZCorp powder cast printer which actually has (...) (21 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Hi Raj, The colour number for trans-white is 47. If you're using MLCad, you can choose it by clicking the "more" button on the colours toolbar, then scrolling down to find it. The trans colours are on the second page. Hope this helps. ROSCO (21 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) Actually it looks like the whole thing is a larger diameter too. That would require a significant skeletal redesign because of the worm drive gear placement. Maybe I'll get that #8436 Truck set with this new turntable and mess around with it. (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | Re: Macaroni Brick Patterns

(...) Very interesting. I did not know about those sets at all. Both for the headlight mosaics and these macaroni patterns, one really needs a lot of bricks of said type to make a real-life version of these. Fortunately in this day and age of (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) You're talking about this: (URL) Versus this: (URL) The biggest difference is that the three mounting holes are closer to the face of the turntable. It would take a bit of re-engineering to use these. You might be able to make a sort of (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) The superficial similarity is striking. (...) I don't know that much about tiling patterns, but I can see that all my LEGO patterns so far have been based on a certain pattern of bricks being turned by 90° angles. And I also wonder if someone (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.parts, FTX)
