Is it just me or do other people have problems when
they build gear mechanisms sandwiched between
technic plates? I tend to get noise, if not actual jamming
due to the hub design interfering with the studs adjacent
to the holes. Of course you can increase the overall height
and add half width bushes as spacers. I have found that
nylon washers work really well in this situation. McMaster
-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) sell all kinds of little non-Lego
goodies like this at reasonable cost. The washers I use
are part number 90295A120. McMAster do regular web style
ordering and seem to deliver really quickly.
And the other problem I seem to have;
I need a two long pin like the black friction pin but without
the ridge around the middle. I find myself often wishing to
attach a half thick beam or similar part on each side of a
normal one wide beam. I have taken to cutting the axle
receiving hole off the end of those odd blue ones to make
a few of these. Is there a better solution?
How else can you make this connection?
