I bet that with some clever engineering you can make it so the turntable rotates automatically by pure mechanics. If the train can push something with a tiny bit of force it can turn that motion into rotation, in all ways ofcourse.
From what I can tell, the autoswitching cross track is not _yet_ available, and the designer is still figuring out the design. It looks like they’re planning to sell them once they are ready.
2 questions: 1) Do you know any good softwares for making MOCs that are weak-device friendly? 2) Any places where I could buy in bulk lego pieces for MOCs? I'm new to making custom Lego builds. edit: for question 2, I meant online.
I've never heard of a mobile digital building app but I imagine if they don't have one they may be working on one. I purchase most of my parts from Bricklink, which is from private sellers around the world. I also buy from the Lego website but not nearly as often.
@@BatteryPoweredBricks Like, not mobile phone, but a software that is a bit more friendly to PCs that are one the less powerfull side. Still, thanks! Subbed.
I think there are some replacement motors in the works but I haven't seen one for sale as of yet. It seems like TrixBrix has been teasing they will release one at some point
The ABS from there print partners doesn't really have the desired elasticity to do pins. The regular track I got survived a hand full of cycles before the track joints wore out. Well that's when it fits together - for some reason the models on there website aren't the same as there print partners. The baked in supports also don't hold up - they take too long and are generally worse then what a slicer can generate. Buying 3D printed track isn't something I'd do again unless people start using PETG/Resen/Sintering.
I've been very satisfied with the stuff I've bought but I never do any long term running with them. Build a layout for a video, run a bit and then take it all apart. My Aquazone layout is the only permanent layout I've made but I only run the train when I'm making videos or testing. I have had questions about the long term durability but I've never used them enough to have an answer
Many of my official tracks are very yellowed, some aren't as bad. I wouldn't say that Paul's Printing 4DBrix track is a match for any color really. It's kind of between old and new gray?
@@BatteryPoweredBricks Yes, it was. I spend dozens of hours and test prints to get this thing to work beside of ordering 500 metal springs (it was the least ordering amount) for the flipping mechanism.
@@firlefranz82 I rarely check Facebook these days but the monorail group there certainly gives me a reason to. Can't wait to see how they do with the springs!
This crossing looks really cool 😎👍 I ❤ Monorail But I prefer in cause of the budget the "brick-build" Monorail 🤗 Greetings from Switzerland Buttermaker
I get that comment a good bit, I just don't have an interest in learning to 3d print myself. I'm sure it takes a lot of research, time and effort to get good quality parts. I also like to support companies / individuals that are printing parts.

100% would forget to switch, I'd prefer that automatic facebook 90 degree one.

Between BatteryPoweredBricks and FoxyNoTail, I've come to learn that RUclips captions cannot say "monorail."
😅
I like the auto switching crossover you showed at the beginning of the video. Using a servo seems redundant if that one is still available.
IIRC It was printed by someone for their own use. If there were one available for purchase i would definitely give it a try!

Thanks for showing these, I spotted them and was curious.
Interesting piece, I would have to automate it. I would forget to switch it. 😅
I don’t know about the off-brand servos, but the Lego technic servos are safe to “stall” because they have some kind of built in safety.

i need these kind of set !!
Can you attach the servo from the underside of the crossing? Would look much better and might be easyer to hide in a build.
No, it's only accessible from the top. That would be better as long as it is up on stanchions and not on the floor.
This is a serene L.E.G.O. 3-D speedway.
이 제품은 고요한 레고 3D 스피드웨이입니다.
Is there an alternative to the original lego motor for this monorail? The original motor is quite expensive

I would love this piece
Are those new pieces a match for light bluish gray (instead of light gray), or are your Lego tracks just that yellowed?

If u could make it with the servo motor on the bottom it would make it much cleaner then u could hide the servo motor in a tall bush or trees
Thought I recognised that outro, heh.
My automatic cross track will be availible soon, also switch tracks in different colors.
Oh very nice, was that your design from the Facebook group shown in the video?

There are definitely some awesome brick built monorails out there. I remember trying to make one as a kid but never had enough pieces 😅
Nice
At this point id just buy a 3d printer

Stop making monorail content I don't have the money for it
I know, I don't either 😬
That is a problem
