(...) I tried fitting a 3mm flexible hose into a normal hose, but without success! It might be possible but would take longer than fitting a 3mm rigid flex tube into a normal hose. The 3mm hose breaks easily if it is stretched over a 3mm flex tube - (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

| | Usage of hose 3mm diameter.

I'm wondering if this hose can be safely used in pneumatic switching circuits or if it's thin inside diameter would restrict airflow somewhat. I've got an idea where I might be tight on space around the valves, so I wondered to myself if 3mm hose is (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)

The hole in the top [LDrawPart 3700] can now be braced to the bottom beam (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Ok... I have a question that may just show my ignorance... but I'll ask anyways. I have a need to strongly connect two technic beams (one on top of each other). Simply attaching them on top of each other (with Lego studs) is not strong enough for my (...) (19 years ago, 5-Oct-05, to lugnet.technic)
