Building a Hydraulic Lego Excavator

[@DeathmetalChad]

Idea: Can you make a truck that comes with this set, in which the excavator puts the sand or whatever it wants to, and then the truck can go wherever it wants and drop the sand? Like a dump truck which has a bed that bends down to drop the sand, and has a flap on the end to stop the sand from falling out? Edit one: This sorta blew up??

Tbh, it seems like the center motor was struggling to stay balanced on rotation, but that 3d print to gap close and fit was clean. Also really cool use of the hydraulics. I would love to see a build that demos the use of the servos as well. 10 out of 10 would watch again

[@AtomBomb420]

I have to say that your cable management is amazing, also, that pump is certainly unique. (in my opinion, I have never seen anything like it)

[@Phlarx]

Peristaltic pumps are commonly used for small precise pumping, like in medical devices. As a bonus, the liquid doesn't touch anything other than tube, so it's easier to sanitize.

[@bengardiner4303]

Hey just a recommendation from someone who works on this type of hydraulics everyday. The rod side of a cylinder has less volume than the piston side because when the cylinder is all the way open obviously the rod isnt inside of the cylinder so you may want to add a water tank with a breather to avoid excess pressure build up when all of the cylinders are sucked in or to avoid the pumps running dry when the cylinders are all the way out. Otherwise great job love to see it.
