Technique Week II: Day 5
Day 5!
To balance out the very piece-intensive technique from yesterday, I thought I should post a simpler one today. This one is a very simple method of reversing stud direction, based on 1x2 grille tiles and mini blaster triggers. As you can see in the picture, you just line up two grille tiles with the stud receiving ends outward and push the flat ends of two trigger pieces through the slots, one from each side. This is commonly done using lever pieces, but using trigger pieces, the structure is only 2 studs wide instead of 3, which can be beneficial. It also allows you to use those trigger pieces, which are generally pretty useless.
The round bits of the triggers do stand out a bit past the sides of the grille tiles, which makes this technique slightly less versatile, but it's still quite effective.
As always, please let me know if you've seen this technique before.
