I'm a Senior Software Developer. I strive to be a polymathic person interested in a range of subjects which positions me as an Innovator, Problem Solver and Solution Designer.

I gained a broad set of experiences by programming since 1993 in different fields of engineering application. With a speciality in computer vision & CAD, I’m also the inventor of a US patent-pending algorithm in the field of Facility Management.

My current technology focus is on Cloud Computing, mobile computing and HPC. At home I do math, robotics and sculpting.

comment How do I print images onto minifig body parts?
This question is about 'How to add an image to a LEGO minifigure'. @HaydenStudios covers paint, printing and stickers in his question. I guess if you need to know specifics about stickers and not transfers-decals you could ask that question, but your original question didn't sound like that (to me a least).

They are decals (transfers). the same stuff used for scale models.

comment How do I make my own LEGO stickers?
@Ambo100 the water decals are 'stickers' . It's not a way to print directly (like a printer would). It's a form of stickers. Like sticker sheets you can buy it in plain sheet (white or clear), print your design on it and stick it on your subject. The advantage of the water stickers is that they will conform to the surface (it will look like it's painted on, but it's a sticker)

@Ambo100 I'm looking for a virtual building software (like LEGO Digital Designer or LDraw). Your link (even though I didn't know it and it's really cool) seam to be a SNOT technique listing

I thought of that. Sliding a beam under the read rounded beam would do the trick. The beam would be attached to the fixed part of the mechanism and, using LEGO elastics, would slide under the red beam when the mechanism rotates from under the driver pins. When the key is rotated back, that beam would be pushed out of the way, freeing the driver pins to move down. The beauty is that, when the right key is in, all the driver pins are flushed (same height). This is a lot easier to manage.
