 | | A closer look at defective spiral stairs —David Eaton
|
| | | A couple days ago, Doyle Nelson alerted us all to re-examine our HP stairs: (URL) actually didn't remember a problem building either set, though upon closer inspection, I actually DID recieve "defective" stairs. It's not overly problematical or (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego) !

| | | | | | (...) From which set? And all non-defective, I presume? For the moment I'm wondering more whether defective pieces have consistant numbers, and whether, within a single set, if any normal AND defective steps have the same numbers...

| | | | | (...) Looks like someone assembled the molds wrong IMO. That could explain why there is a 180 degree difference in the notches in the underside of the stair pieces. Simple enough of a mistake to overlook, but large enough to cause significant (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) That was my thought-- and even more of an easy-to-overlook mistake because the stairs slide so easily. As I said, I was completely unaware that there was a problem until I actually went and checked a 2nd time. I don't expect that this will be (...)

| | | | | | I happened to notice this problem right off when I built the staircase for my 4706 Forbidden Corridor a while back. It was super obvious because when I spiraled the staircase for the first time, right in the middle, there was a gap, but the rest (...)

It seem to me that the majority of bad stairs are in the smaller set. Its totally random. Mine (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.general)
