A matter of taste, that's all. Some people like complicated toys, some don't - I don't fret about it at all :) . And thank you for this question which probably means that you like my work. By the way - for a while I was considering buying your 3D printed turntable for this excavator. Ultimately, I built it myself but I respect very much what you do.
@@dmaclego indeed i like it very much. Btw, i design the parts, but i try to avoid them if possible. Only when a given space makes it impossible, or to make rc tires compatible, i use printed parts
Absolutely fantastic, did you use stock lego parts to make the air compressor? working on a similar build and wondering if it would be worthwhile sourcing an aftermarket pump.
Thank you! The air compressor is 100% stock LEGO. To be more specific: 8 smal pumps (in 2 groups of 4, each group powered by PF L motor without additional gearing down). One group works for the bucket cyllinder, one for the stick cyllinder and both groups together work for the two boom cyllinders. Good luck with your project!
@@dmaclego Ah thank you for the detailed description, I ordered 4 pumps but will likely double them to 8 as I like the almost "lag free" performance of yours.
@@socialzombie94 You're welcome. Oh, and two more remarks. Firstly, 2 cyllinders powered by 8 pumps will lift the boom fairly easily but the real problem is the way down - if you use just pneumatics, the boom will go down like a hammer as soon as you open the valves. That is why I also used a winch with a strong, nylon string discretely attached to the lower part of the boom. If you set the right speed for the winch, it will brake the boom on its way down. And secondly, if you decide to go with 8 pumps, keep in mind that this may be too much air for the single pneumatic tubes. That is why I grouped the pumps (4 + 4) and both groups have separate tubing systems.
The attention to detail here is just something else. (And the video quality is more than good enough!)
Świetny model :) Jestem pod wrażeniem samozaparcia w stworzeniu własnych siłowników.
another insanely good model
Awesome Moc !
You did an amazing work !
How can a moc like this get a dislike?
Jealous they didn't think of it first probably..

How did you make those pneumatic pistons they look so cleann
You can read about the process in the comments section under this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/dmaclego/40551517723/in/dateposted/
Johanna: she works hard for the money,
so you better treat her right!
I hope Lego Technic will release this excavator.
Well, don't hold your breath ;) . This model is way too big and too complicated to be turned into a set.
Thank you for the excavator.
nice model
That's so cool !
Piękny model! Gratuluję.

Dziękuję.
50 dollars to buy your drawings to sell?
No, thanks :) .
