A load of parts
I had to take a little break again for health reasons (no not the coronavirus). This me trying to catch up 😛
Loads of new pipe pieces all finished up (pretty much everything uses custom LOD models).
The new flanges are pretty much final (there is a couple low-lod models I don’t like but it’s probably just me).
That’s pretty much all the ‘pipe’ parts I wanted, manifolds don’t really need custom parts: Slap two pieces of tube together and you can make pretty much any junction you want already.
What remains: Valves, valve accessories, mounting brackets, supports, and… maybe a few open and/or broken parts?
Bendy pipes
I’ve tried to write a check-list (feel free to comment and make suggestions!) of all the different parts I want to make… and it is pretty big.
Big and incomplete too. I can’t decide on what valve and elements to add to the set and which designs, especially for the 10cm and 30cm pipes.
At least I got more bends done I suppose? These, with the short turn ones I’ve already done for the large pipes SHOULD be everything you realistically need, as far as bent pipes go.
I also don’t know If I want to have flanges on the valves. Not having any means that you can re-use some of the valve parts across pipe sizes, just add the proper flange set to it. But it is less practical, and might end up bloating the LI.
