SNIPE Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) as the title explains, will this technic axle: http://www.bricklink...em.asp?P=pinpw2 mesh with any of these bricks: http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=3062b http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3062bpb37 http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3062bpb36 http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3062bpb35 http://www.bricklink...asp?P=3062bpb01 note that i think that the last round brick will have more grip than the others because the plastic is not glossy, its matt surface. or the transparent blue one might work because it may be more grippy down to its dimensions and shape despite it probably being used in the same molding or pressing machine. the metal axle will also probably be grippier than plastic. the axle will to in the underside part of the brick and the rod that is part of the axle will stick out of the hole in the top of the brick.

DLuders Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 You ORIGINALLY asked, will fit in any of these parts below? The answers: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, & no. The top "studs" on each of these parts are the same size as the "stud" end of the 6587 "Technic, Axle 3 with Stud" (pictured below), and the round axle portion of the metal axle is not long enough to project up through the top of the round bricks anyway. P.S. You really need to insert the images of these parts in your posts yourself -- you're making us work too hard. Copy the URL of the image, and then click the "Insert Image" icon on the post menu (two icons to the right of the "smiley face" icon). If the image URL has more letters past the ".jpg" filename, chop off anything beyond the ".jpg". That's what I did above. You could also click "View Larger Image" on the various Bricklink parts pages to see that things won't fit. Quote
SNIPE Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) sorry i changed the images, please see the edited port, there is no round bricks without the hole in the stud there, and there is no round bricks with the rod on the top, there would not obviously work with the axle. i assumed that the rod on the metal axle is the same diameter as the typical rods such as: for example when the metal axle is fully inserted in the round 1x1x3 brick should be half (or 1L of the 2L axle) of the 'x' part sticking out of the larger hole and most of the rod (probably 1.5L) or the 2L rod of the metal axle sticking out of the smaller hole of top stud of the rounded brick. the top studs have holes in them which the rod goes through.

DLuders Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 The 1-stud-long metal axle is not long enough to poke through the top of any of the 1-1/3 studs long round bricks. Even if it did, there is no way of securing the round bricks from rolling off the end of the pin. Axle pins have small, raised ridges and their ends to prevent this from happening, just like there are raised ridges at the ends of Technic Pins Without Friction: Quote
SNIPE Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) are you sure, the outer and inner diamiter of the top of the rounded brick is only worth the height of a flat plate or 0.1L of an axle (tha'ts half of a 1L axle or quarter of the 2L axle that is attached to the rod as part of the metal axle assembly im not too bothered about the rim coming off the axle for now just as long as it enables the wheel to spin with the axle. oh i have just ran into another blimmin' problem the metal axle has a stupid end cap so i wont be able to put an axle to axle connector to the end of it. it looks like i will have to be using the second assembly after all Edited August 1, 2011 by SNIPE Quote
DLuders Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 @ SNIPE: Why don't you ORDER some parts yourself, and try it out? I'm done with this topic, and have lost patience on this matter. Quote
