Banbao LEGO: motorcycle

Completion date: April 14, 2020

My banbao LEGO is here! My first project is building motorcycle from manual.

My reflection on this build
- three gears linear cluster turns the gears in a way that the 1st and 3rd gears are in the same direction.
- the 3-gear cluster’s function is to displace the turning motion to happen in another place. In this case, the back wheels can’t be directly connected to the motor, that’s why the 3-gear cluster would help.
- there are two types of connectors that look similar but provide a bit different functions. They act as pivot. One is smooth-pivot, the other is a stuck-pivot (need more force to turn)

My first encounter with Banbao: really happy.
- It is not as good as LEGO in the fitting
- It is really cheap, I imagine this would cost around HK$1000 with LEGO. Now around 1/3 of the price
- It seems there are more variety of parts than LEGO

- LEGO has actual size illustration on page for axles. Banbao could provide ruler sticker as a quick fix.

Gear investigation: Banbao Lego crane

Completion date: May 16, 2020 1. Gear ratio: 8:24:40. The bottom wheel cranking the string at speed (8/24)*(24/40)=0.2x speed of the motor. 2. The top two wheels looks like pulley system to me, but I am not sure about the spinning speed of the top wheels, the first top wheel is slower than the bottom wheeler, that I observed. 3. The beginning of the bottom wheeling action is pulling less string because the circumference is small (less string winded). So it pulls the string faster gradually as more string is added to the circumference. 4. Note I added the rewind crank on the other side of the motor. This is the final instruction of the Banbao booklet. All the builds have been fun for me, I got to know more about gears now (though still primitive). My thoughts towards the gear mechanism is that it is not as efficient as I thought it would be. - requires many gears to do 1 simple thing - gear design has to match the many requirements of the space, dist...

Keyboard silicon cover

Completion date: May 5, 2020 Dust gets into the keyboard and I usually buy these silicon keyboard covers. There isn’t a mould for this Rapoo keyboard, so I bought a generic one on Taobao. Because I stand the keyboard up when I don’t use it, so the silicon cover occasionally falls down. I need a way to secure the cover from falling off. Materials - Silicon keyboard cover 14cm x 45cm (RMB$9.58/each, on a buy one get one free, so it’s around RMB$5/each) Steps 1. Cut the silicon short so it can cover all the keys. Cut the corners round. 2. With the leftover silicon, cut 2 strips 1cm x 14cm. 3. Mark at 0.5 margin. Punch 2mm holes at the marks. 4. Cut a straight line in the middle from top hole to bottom hole. 5. Now it looks like an elastic band. Fit the keyboard through the bands at the ends to secure the silicon cover.
