STECK DESIGNER WANTED

[Wolf Knight]

I beleive that we have strayed a little farther then we think from Richard's original question...

I don't believe what Richard asked was for a new system...
Just a way of connecting the two systems we have.

Wasn't that what this topic was about?

Yes that was Richard's original idea.... But it does not hurt to come up with a few more proposals.... So back to the original question...

STECK DESIGNER WANTED

We would like to find someone who can revamp Playmobil's SystemX and Steck Systems so that they work together and work better!

This new "combination" system needs to be mathematically logical like Lego only all Playmobil.

Do we have any members here at Playmofriends that can do this? The preliminary design will be presented in Zirndorf in about six weeks!

Actually, Richard's original post in this thread (as quoted above) does seem to call for a whole new system - at least that is how I read it.  Perhaps Richard, himself, can help us out with a clarification.   Oh, Richard . . .

Can't wait to se your results Giorginetto!!!

I havent managed to come up with an eloquent design as planned ...  .... I really cant see a universal way to bridge system x and steck apart from some bespoke connectors for certain commonly used parts which on teh other hand creates other problems ..... i think its  avery difficult task and really hope someone comes up with a solution !!!!

I hope to post some ideas today or tomorrow.  I'm just working on some drawings.

Thanks Sylvia.

A simple version might be caps and “T” connectors (like “Female wall end  connector/3Ø Ø7 6Ø7Ø,” “Triple female t-junction wall connector/3Ø Ø7 6Ø8Ø,” and “Male wall end connector/3Ø Ø7 6Ø9Ø”) with System X male pegs sticking out. I could one-off those in my garage.

i asked sylvia  to move this thread to this section so that it could create some synergies with:

"another idea for a new playmobil construction system" - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4677.msg61209#msg61209
"a new construction system for playmobil... " - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4623.0

let´s see if it will work, steck and system-x together.

meanwhile i received this message form klickywelt's  sir george I:

" Hello pedro,

Thanks for sending the link.
I watched the site and it seems to me that there are many people interrested to get the libary of the 3d steck parts for google sketch up.

At first i thought i'll get a member of this community to offer the free link to the libary, but i saw that i have to pay 5 euros to get a member and so i decided to contact you again. I'd like to share my 'hard-work' with anyone who's interrested for free, but i'm not so amused to pay 5 euros that i can do this.

I would be very nice from you, if you post the link you can see on ''klickywelt'' in your thread on playmo-friends. So anybody can get the library for free.
So if you will do this, please write me back, and i'll always sent you a message with the link for updates.

friendly regards

Sir George I"

so, for all those of you who want to start "sketching" using 3d-steck parts, her's the link - http://www.klickywelt.de/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=41548.

now it is in your hands to improve steck instead of simply crying "bring back steck".

Why improve it?
It is a good system that works,
And we would like to have it back.

The only improvement we can think of is to
create 45* angles to make more realistic looking walls,
We don't want a new system, just the old one back.
