One of the most common techniques as I understand it is to use this piece:
You route the axle through the groove and then embed it inside other pieces.
If that is not clear, I think Chris Masi has posted some pics of how he did
it. I think John Neal has too.
|
Hmm. Never thought of that one- probably because I don’t have that part (though
I do have the 1 x 8 versions of it)- I guess every builder’s mind is configured
somehow to work within his collection. Although I don’t recall John Neal having
posted construction pics in his brickshelf folder.

As for how to model the axle itself when LDrawing,(1) take a look at part
2878c01.dat and you’ll see it’s composed of 2878 and 2879c01.dat which is a
pair of wheels on the steel axle. (I can’t embed the images for those via FTX
since they’re shortcuts not raw parts, and thus LUGNET doesn’t have the
images, I assume)
|
Okay, I’ll admit it, you just lost me there- a search for 2879c01.dat in MLCAD
brought up nothing. How do I access the metal axle bit seperately? (This also
might be because I’ve been having endless errors about some missing
subassemblies ever since I added the last part update and all my attempts to do
something about it have failed. Anyone know how to fix it?)
| |
1 - insert “LOL, this makes me wonder if you’ve ever looked at an LDraw
subassembly” here, except that I don’t think that’s an appropriate comment
when trying to be helpful...
|
Okay, okay- my bad. My sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended.
