Lego hydraulic arm

thingiverse

You're probably wondering what's the point of turning an old Lego hydraulic arm into a makeshift laboratory tool like a reusable plastic syringe. It's actually pretty straightforward if you know where to look for resources on converting parts from different LEGO systems, and it only requires some simple DIY knowledge. First off, identify your old hydraulic arm in question. Make sure it is in good condition because this modification process can damage the mechanism beyond repair. If you do decide to repurpose an old Lego hydraulically actuated part into a tool like an empty plastic syringe for experiments or crafting projects that require precise manipulation of small objects without messing up their surfaces, now's your chance! Just remember: precision requires practice so keep trying different ways until one works just right. If everything goes as planned with repurposing LEGO elements successfully, then what next? Here comes fun stuff - assembling a custom made pipette from materials lying around such home lab environment combined nicely crafted components purchased at art store nearby...
