  • Introducing the Lego Technic Auto Start Air Compressor
    Build my our designs here : rebrickable.com/users/HRU%20B...
    Build Your Own Compressor here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-2264...
    Make sure you read the building notes for the Pneumatic circuit and additional info
    Bring all of your pneumatic builds and GBC builds to life with this Auto Start Air Compressor. Now there is no need to worry about staring the compressor system, with exposed air lines or parts getting stuck in the moving parts. The Compressor starts and stops based on the pressure in the system and the tension of the rubber bands on the yellow 6L cylinder.
    The Stud.io file has been uploaded to Rebrickable and the link is attached to this page.

      Thanks! It is a good compact compressor. I was thinking about adding the extra rubber feet. The dampeners work well now but it could always be better! The table does resonate a lot so that doesn't help.

    The rebrickable link doesn't actually contain instructions. If one is fine building entirely from a model file, that might be okay, but pdf instructions might be a lot easier to use for many people, myself included. The only pdf file that I saw was for some building notes, not the actual build instructions.

    • @SmashingBricksAU
      @SmashingBricksAU  2 роки тому

      Correct. People do not want to pay for instructions and they do take time to make. What price would you be willing to pay for a set of instructions? Also Studio does not yet have all of the available parts in the parts pallet which can cause some issues with building instructions

    • @markt1964
      @markt1964 2 роки тому

      @@SmashingBricksAU I made comment on the matter because at the Rebrickable website, it suggests there is a link to building instructions, but no actual building instructions can be found there.
      I understand that such things take time to make, and that this time should reasonably be compensated. If you aren't willing to give out instructions for your own models for free, that's your right. The only reason why I had been expecting to find instructions in the first place is because the link at the rebrickable site suggested that they could be found there, not because I believe you should be spending your time making such things and then freely giving away hard work.
      Also, I mean no offense, but why are you asking what price I would be willing to pay for something that you've basically also just admitted that you didn't expect anyone to pay in the first place, not to mention revealed that you apparently don't have the tools to make?
      How much I'd personally be willing to pay for instructions would actually depend entirely on the completeness and quality of the instructions, but unless you were offering such instructions for sale and willing to suggest a price point, it honestly seems to me like the question is rather moot.

    You should place a mechanical actuator between the yellow zylinder and the electronic switch so you can change the minimum/ maximum pressure.

    Hey - thanks for this build, I've used it to supply compressed air to Akiyuki's 6-axis manipulator (I built my own end effector, basically just a gripper with a small V2 pneumatic cylinder). Any advice on dealing with the friction in the switch? I've ordered three different switches, but with my current elastic band setup, the shut-off is around 3 bar (great) but if pressure is gradually reduced (i.e. by actuation of the end effector), I only get start-up at around 0.4 bar. I'm using the recommended switch (with reduced friction). Any thoughts? I'd like to get it to start-up at a higher pressure. Thanks again!

    And how do you connect the 2 air tanks too?
