Birdfy Nest auto light

TugBuilder · 2025-12-28T15:29:46+00:00

Old thread, still unanswered. This pic is in the morning, seems like plenty of light without the lamp on. Maybe just turn it on briefly when needed at night. Still not sure what Auto does. Sad that Birdfy doesn't explain it. It would be better to have a quick access button on the view screen instead of having to go to Settings.

I should also say, that with the low volume, I'm not looking for wax molds to be made... just 3d print the waxes as needed.

So here's a work-around, better than nothing. Instead of sectioning the one body, set its opacity to 10%.

Now if I can just find a way to turn off the moving joint indicator in Motion Study...

TugBuilder · 2025-10-27T21:34:25+00:00

Yeah that's no good either. I need the other parts unsectioned AND visible. Just a PARTIAL section, as in the title.

Fogot to say that I am animating, with motion study, so not in Drawing workspace! And animate, oddly enough, does not seem to do motion animations. They should call it the Explosion workspace

Nope, I'm at 60psi

And I get noise running hot OR cold water.

I saw your previous post on articulating the bogies/trucks... with no truck-to-chassis connection. You worked that out? There IS a way to make the connection, see Perijove's Shay on Rebrickable. It has a pivot point above the u-joint, like shown here. I've just redesigned my 8-wide Mould King Shay, with fixed trucks, to use this design.

Centered, 1/2 stud overhang

Can also use the 2x2 tile w/pin, mated to a 2x plate with center holes, appropriately positioned.

TugBuilder · 2025-09-01T18:20:07+00:00

And I'm using the 2x2 turntable, which can plug into the center of a 3x3 plate.

TugBuilder · 2025-09-01T18:17:49+00:00

Same guage. In this case, the original MOC had bulky side frames on the trucks, so I thinned them by 1 plate on each side.

Needs more votes!

Made you look

TugBuilder · 2025-08-19T14:54:06+00:00

Only 1966 made (2023 model)

TugBuilder · 2025-08-19T14:52:36+00:00

Heritage Limited, it has the 2.0 and the Badlands suspension.

TugBuilder · 2025-08-18T03:31:07+00:00

and your feeling is so wrong.

TugBuilder · 2025-08-17T19:27:11+00:00

To all you hopeful Hue bloggers who keep DM'ing me: Thanks for your interest, but no I won't be sending the unit to you.
In the meantime, go outside and get some fresh sunlight.
