Aventador2004 Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Another moc, Mini Scissor Lift. Not much to say... Height matters... Please comment... Quote
aminnich Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 For a mini model, not bad. For the lift, is the only thing keeping the lift up the friction in the pins? Looks that way. I think you could incoororate some kind of gearing to keep everything in the upright position. Nice job! Quote

I agree it could stay up better, but would need to be way larger. Thank you though. Quote

mocbuild101 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) It's okay, but it's not a proper scissor lift... It needs to have beams that cross over each other - like scissors - which would actually be possible at this scale: (click on image for LDD file) Edited December 16, 2017 by mocbuild101 Changed Image/Link Quote

Void_S Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 @mocbuild101, nice example! I'd add a worm gear below that folds this superstructure when you rotate some lever. Quote

(not that I've tested it, but I have had a lot of experience with scissor mechanisms) I tested part of it, it doesn't fold very small, just half a stud each part. Quote

That's strange, it should fold more than that... Try building the rest of it... By the way, did you notice you've got a title? Quote
Aventador2004 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Posted December 16, 2017 It is because the middle axle and 1L liftarm collide, look closely. I know exactly how I got it, so does @Milan... See here: Quote

(up to a point...) Yes, rebuilt 6 times already to distribute weight correctly. I considered a (WIP) topic, but decided it would be too full of updates, constant rebuild. The scissor lift is fun to tinker, or look at. Just a fun thing. Quote

Not yet, I need to purchase some parts first, I put bulk parts into the backhoe loader, and someone dumped some parts into the system bins I have... I am rather building a medium sized, tracked construction machine, more details later. On topic, is the cabin in the ldd file not connected on one side? Quote
