| Hi Norbert, Thanks for posting this! Although I've only been modeling digitally lately, I really enjoy your tutorials. Question re: hat production Have you ever thought of just making a silicone mold out of the finished prototype? Then you could (...) (19 years ago, 9-Sep-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod)

A fair amount of work to do, but not especially _hard_ work once you've cracked the trick of how to do the (...)

We have seen the development of the half section of track, crossover the correct radius switch, and (...)

| | | | | Re: tougher lego gears

| | | | | Re: tougher lego gears
|
| (...) I don't think the plastic-glue bond would have to be stronger than plastic with itself. I'm just talking about filling up the hole so that the gear won't crack as easily at the thin points next to the holes. This is where the breaks are always (...)

| | | | | Re: tougher lego gears
|
| (...) If the material is failing, I doubt filling the holes will help (perhaps, *maybe*, with a very strong glue, but I still doubt it). The problem is getting anything to bond the plastic nearly as strongly as the plastic bonds to itself. I don't (...)

But then it snapped. The gears always crack at the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | Re: tougher lego gears
|
| (...) Bummer. My suggestion would be to "gang" more gears side-by-side. You could use metal gears, like meccano or something, but you'd always have a weak point at the plastic/metal interface. Or you could do all the mechanicals in metal, and just (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.technic)
| | | | | Re: tougher lego gears
|
| (...) I "doped" the gear and it still broke. I think it might have lasted a bit longer though. I put it in boiling water for 5 minutes then in iced water for 5 minutes. Didn't use it until about 15 minutes later. Any other suggestions? Jack (19 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.technic)
