Hello all, here’s a question to throw into the group,

How do people model the USB cable that originates from the back of the Vision
Command/ LEGO Studio camera?

I Have been using Lsynth’s Pneumatic Hose-type spec but it is a little thin. I
have noticed that Miguel Agullo uses the Ribbed Hose element in his
Differtimento MOC http://www.geocities.com/technicpuppy/diffmnt/dftindex.html
given that it is a little wider, but it produces a ribbed hose effect, and not a
smooth hose like the real thing.

I bet the Lsynth is the application to use, but can you trick it into using
another ‘custom’ part to synthesize after the ‘Ribbed Hose’ (or any other
flexible element) type declaration. – A question for Kevin no doubt.

Yes.  It is the tool, but unfortunatly it has no simple generic mechanism.
Consider it on the list.


The follow up to that question is what would that custom part be, and where do I
get one?

You simply need to scale one of the cylinder primatives to the right side.  The
electric cable cross section is merely two of those that overlap.

If you are not planning on using pneumatic support, you could modify the
pneumatic hose scale to make it bigger.


Help appreciated

Cheers
