(...) Are there instructions anywhere on how to download and install or update unofficial parts? Is there a repository where all the unofficial parts live? Thanks, Paul Sinasohn LUGNET #115 (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad)

I don't think LUGNET has had any discussions about this in quite some time. How do -you- clean your LEGO parts? I'm interested in learning people's techniques, particularly ones that clean a lot of parts at once with little effort. LEGO that's been (...)

Hello, LUGNET readers. In case you don't know, I'm the lugnet.robotics.nxt curator.

Hi, Again, while doing these parts for LGEO, I discovered the exhaust pipes old 71137 and new (with Pin) x855 (unoffical by GuyVivan) to be misaligned. They have a different origin point, which is not the problem. If you place them in a the holes of (...) (17 years ago, 21-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
