Sometime back I bagan an online study with fellow Mecha Builder
MC7.
MC7 has been working on Ball Jointed frame tech.
|
This is an interesting technology and great Mech -- thanks.
|
I have some ideas for new ball jointed frames.
I keep wanting to build a spider.
| |
I have a few questions for either Eric or MC7 --
|
yo, ?
| |
I noticed that some of the joints have multiple ball joints. Does that
stiffen the joint and at the same narrow movement to one axis?
|
The additional dual ball joints located beyond the main single pivoted ball
joint, allow the Arm, Leg, and or Ankle, to hold the intended position while
sharring the load.
Plus they take the rotational “duty” off the pivot point, by allowing a simular
adjacent joint to serve as an alternative articulation point.
That really does make sense, but who wants to read it. I’ll show you at BF.
| |
How much weight will this ball joint technology hold? It seems that Eric’s
Mech is quite heavy.
|
Uhh uhhh, Lighter than the three tissues I gave Keith.
As a constuctive critique, I pointed out that the frame, as does not, (in most
Ball Joint connections in hips and shoulders) , hold fast in the 1L axle
distance given beyond a certain weight/scale.
You could train connections on the rotational axis to prevent seperation, or
just hope or live with it.
....and or, combine Ball Joints, ala Bionicle limbs as discovered and or first
implemented by Bryce McGlone:
see the upper right shoulder of Big Blue
Though keeping to all regular ball joints is the cool part about it.
I think I’d like too see if I can make one too.
Again as a constructive comment, yikes! 33 Ball Joints!
