If I understand correctly, sounds like what we (in USA) call a "kludge". Although in a less technical (read "non-computer geek") context we might say its was a jury-rigged or jack-legged solution. Bob (...) (26 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

The more precise your model, the more washers and shims are needed to make things work per your design. The worm gear always needs a washer or two depending how many you use end for end. I have even used plastic wrap between beams to get that "just (...) (26 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

Yeah, I knew what you meant, that's why I said "its not perfect" in the original post. It'd be nifty if the ridges were on the outside, but then the pod would look a bit silly, and the ribs would scrape the ground below the blade. I still think it (...) (26 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

Actually, if you've ever watched a grader in real life you'll know why I want it to be one piece. Road graders commonly perform a process known as 'drilling', or rolling the dirt in front of the grader to one side. Essentially, what happens is that (...) (26 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
