[Challenge & Achievement] Conveyors Chutes And Christmas Cheer Part Three

Wow, this project really feels like it took a big leap forward during this section. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Power test number four is complete, and this update added one of my favorite areas of the factory so far. I built the rotating Christmas tree along with all of its decorations, the spinning mechanism underneath it, the enclosed section above it, and the chute system where the conveyor from the earlier section now feeds the toys through.

I did end up taking apart the upper section above the tree a couple of times because I wanted to reposition the lighting until it felt balanced. I think I finally found a setup that looks good without overpowering the rest of the scene.

I also spent a little extra time painting some of the exposed raw wood areas on the chute and upper sections, including the backside of the star. Those little finishing touches really helped clean up the overall look for me.

This build continues to be incredibly satisfying because every new section connects into something that was built earlier, so the whole factory keeps becoming more alive and interactive as it grows.

Testing at different stages is the best way to prevent disappointment and frustration… well done

Thank for share your progress. Nice kit

You’ve got it down!! Keep it up!

Great progress so far. It looks awesome. :blush:

That’s such an exciting milestone! :christmas_tree::sparkles: Completing power test number four really like the project took a huge leap forward.

I love re-discovering this kit through your posts. You did very well so far. It’s very satisfying to see it all working with each power test.

I know I even ‘tested’ it a few times when it was not required in the manual just as an excuse to see it working again :smiling_face:

Wow, you’re about halfway through.

There’s a Robotime poll about this kit right now.

@Kim_Kieffer thank you kim for posting this ive ordered this kit ! Thank you for the tips ! :blossom::cherry_blossom::blossom::blossom::roll_eyes:

This is looking great @Kim_Kieffer . I have to frequently test it as I go with this kit to ensure that if there is problem, I can fix it straight away. Such a lovely kit to build

It’s coming along well. I hope you have plenty of lights to make it to the end as there are many who have fallen short not following instructions specifically.

Exciting to see this all coming together. Nearing the end!

For sure! And it’s a great excuse just to hear the little jingle :grin:

Thanks so very much!

Thanks! More work tonight
