I just posted an update to the minifig chain (part 208c01.dat) to the Parts
Tracker. The official file three problems: it was too long overall, there were
too many links, and each link was too small.

New Update
|
(sorry, the pictures are different scales; I can’t fix that)
I eyeballed the chain links against some other lego parts, and calculated the
link-pitch of the chain, and came up with 20x11x3 as the overall dimensions (in
LDU) for each link. The diameter of the tube for each link is 3LDU. Can
someone (maybe someone with calipers) double-check that those figures are
reasonably accurate? If I’m wrong by more than ~.5LDU, I’ll go back and correct
my corrections.
Thanks to Purple Dave for pointing out this issue to me!
Steve

| (...) Good catch Purple Dave! Thanks for the update Steve. I'll have to adjust some of my LSynth information based on the new part sizes I guess. Kevin (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
