 | | Which glue?
|
| I will soon be gluing LED's (light emitting diodes) inside some LEGO elements. In the past, I've always used MEK for gluing LEGO pieces together, but I need something a little more viscous and less runny for this. Any suggestions? -Rob (...)

| (...) Thanks :-) I thought of calling a half double axle joiner a "minim" because it looks like the musical note and it's a lot quicker to say! I've made quite a few of the X plugs you mentioned, but from axle pins because the ball parts are less (...) (17 years ago, 3-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

| (...) Wow, those are some very good mods! I can definitely see the half-double axle joiner perpendicular becoming very handy - for half unit increments, among other things. Sometime I'll compile my own part wish list, but I'm to laz-er-busy right (...) (17 years ago, 3-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod)

| Here's an update on my parts experiments. I've added quite a few Technic parts: (URL) expansion link (URL) , based on a 1x3 thin liftarm, allows an axle or peg to slide in the 1x2 slotted hole. Very useful for steam engines: (URL) (It would go (...) (17 years ago, 2-Feb-07, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.technic)

| (...) Actually a typical bridge rectifier will drop ~1.4 volts in the supply. That's alot! About a 16% drop in voltage, and a 29% drop in overall power at the top end. I'm not sure what effect this would have on the control circuitry. Mat (18 years ago, 27-Sep-06, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

| (...) Actually, it would be easy enough for someone with electronics and microcontroller experience just to build a new receiver. You typically record the IR signals on a PC, figure out how they're coded, then program a microcontroller to decode (...)
