8 Ways to Build an Extending Mechanism with Lego

Hi everyone,
you need some kind of extending mechanism almost everywhere when using Lego. But often that's not really trivial, a gear rack doesn't always fit, or a screw isn't strong enough. Here's a collection of 8 useful and less useful ways to build one of these.
Enjoy watching and bricking,

Ah, the scissor mechanism... True OG

TLDR: I'm taking a 3-month break for a personal project, but there is a lot of fun stuff planned after that.
I've read every comment until now and definitely want to continue doing that, but I'm not sure if I'm able to during the break, so don't be confused if I answer a month later. Thanks a lot for the huge support

​@@richardjulien1329 dude if it's personal it might be private so don't ever question someone that if they say it's a personal thing

@@oldhorn420 yup, might have been insensitive from me...

Take your time king 👑

Whatever it is, I hope you have a great time doing it, and I look forward to your return!

i like hamburger

[@kajin807]

Holy smokes, I haven't even realized it's been that long. A break is well deserved!

[@drmatarkin2100]

Number 4 reminds me of the punching arms. My kids will use this for Lego robot weapons. Love it!!!

[@CatFaceMan5234]

These videos are useful😀

[@NeverJhonsen]

#3 is how the read arm inside a floppy drive works :)
A read arm is moved back and forth over the spinning floppy disk, and a long stepper screw is used to position it in place

[@mrmansir3734]

i liked number 1 because of its compactness, but I need to combine more gear worm drills together to make the axle travel farther. But combining the gear worm drills isnt very consistent for me and they end up moving slightly out of place.

[@smallboyahoy]

I never knew you could put worm gears in bushings

[@heho1]

we look forward to your comeback!

I was today years old I realised that a chain track can be put into a 3X1 Plate!!

[@evertticket2060]

i have this old volvo set that has a big one thats really compact also with the screw piece similir to the one with the chain but then without it

[@spedboy727]

Have you ever work with the pistons ?

[@Frank_wow]

Very cool. I have a few questions for the channel:
1. Do you have any major goals regarding this channel / potentially more channels
2. What is your thoughts on doing a face reveal
3. Why do you make videos
4. What do you want to accomplish with your videos

[@in1]

1. No, not really, I'm kinda surprised how it worked out, but I'm just happy with sharing my projects with the world and discussing them in the comments :)
2. Probably not until I hit a million or something
3. See 1)
4. See 1) :)

This would be good for a Lego battle bot tantrum

Hi

[@nutsandy7183]

Any ideas for car door latch mechanisms? From old style push in, to lift or pull etc?

[@in1]

I guess the only thing you need is to pull an axle (=bolt), which can prolly work with many of these mechanisms

[@royan.jdm2]

Can we use any gear with auto reverse gear?

you've been going for 3.5 years!... looks like i need to go look at some old videos. The algorithm only presented you to me about 4 months ago.

[@PCrailfan3790]

Just as a suggestion, you might want to improve the lighting in your videos so the footage looks less “old”
