HowTo: MOC Tutorials

Here’s a holder for 2x2 elements that uses the minifig ring as a brick spacer.

Does any one know if Axle Connector 2 x 3 with Ball Joint Socket and Axle Socket with White Rubber Insert is in stud.io? I could’ve sworn it was there but I can’t find it

[TheJerminator]

I have it.

This part, right?

[KanohiReqi]

Yeah that’s it. I tried looking for it but for some reason it wasn’t in the technic section

[Tributron]

Here is a build i did way back when, it utilizes a lot of technic based techniques to envoke a boneheads inspired look

Lego Bionicle How-To: Helryx, The First Toa

[wild_toa]

I still need to actually build that…
(not that cannon Helryx isnt good, its just that I sometimes headcannon that one)

[BionicleBoss]

you can search for it generally as “socket” in the parts directory or it will come up right away as “insert”, I understand your situation as sometimes studio even puts certain parts in a different category for example the asymmetrical wedge variants of the 1x2 curved slope are now under the wedge instead of curved slope category and I had trouble finding them for a while.

Since I’m gonna post my current Lariska MOC, might as well post the promised head tutorial. Should the cotests get that far, I will also allow this design being used there with reference. Details about how exactly it may be used will probably have to be defined once the time comes, but since this is basically the same as using a 3D print, I’m assuming and declaring for the time being that you may use this head only exactly as it is built with no variations except for colours.

From my side I will probably allow slight variations in build, but that will have to be ascertained once the contest starts.

A metru pauldron design I thought was fun.

[Likus]

Here’s a frame that allows you to arrange two inika shoulder guards back to back using two 1x1 technic brick w/ axle hole.

[GoodGuy2006]

ooh, i could use this

[Takutanuva]

Looks really cool, how fragile is this?

[Likus]

It’s moderately strong, you could reliably use this as a lower leg on an inika sized character and it won’t fall apart. I replaced the 1x2 plate with a 1x2 plate w/ ratchet fingers to give it some reinforcement.

Edit: Forget the brick design, there is a better technic design below that you’re going to want to use.

[TheJerminator]

@Likus

the part where the 1x1 technic bricks attach to the 1x2 plate is the only weak part.

I fixed the strength with some Technic reinforcement, but it makes it a touch wider in some parts:

[Likus]

I revised that design, it’s stronger now without needing the liftarms on the sides. Also I revised the design again with even better stability and articulation by just making it pure technic. This is the strongest and best design all around.

[Eilrach]

Wow nice design, would it be used for a leg?

[Likus]

It can be used.

Been a while since I’ve been on this site or even doing much with constraction but stumbling on this thread is giving me a lot of inspiration.

Here’s one way to integrate the xalax rubber band holder into a limb.

The central wall going through the center of the holder is the same thickness as a bracket, therefore you can use either of the small 1x1 brackets in tandem with a stack of bricks and a row of plates to trap it. The holder will still flop left and right a bit because the center gap of the holder is wider than a brick but it won’t fall out.
