What kind of questions parents do not care about when they try to figure out how to captivate their heir! Almost all children of kindergarten and school age are loved by designers, among whom Lego has been invariably popular for many years. Many already know how to make a house, a car or a pirate island out of it, but not everyone knows that there are sets from which you can build a safe. After all, even your child will find what can be stored there.
Do not forget that for the baby it is more than a game. The opportunity to get your own safe will cause genuine delight. Indeed, you can store various important and necessary things in it: your favorite typewriter, a beautiful drawing, a shell or pebbles from the sea coast, a bracelet or watch. Knowing how to make a safe out of Lego, you encourage your child to fantasize, come up with new games on his own, and choose the most valuable things for him.
In addition, the child will be able to keep his money savings there - this will be a great excuse to explain to the baby the importance of accumulating funds and talk about the possibility of saving them.
So, before you figure out how to make a safe from Lego, you will have to purchase a special kit that will contain all the necessary details. If you want to try to make it out of standard options, then you can try just to assemble a box in which to put all the values of the baby, and then make him a solid roof. True, in order to get the treasures, you will need to disassemble the entire structure.
If you are interested in how to make a safe from Lego in such a way that it opens a door and has a latching mechanism, then you will need special details. In addition to the usual bricks from which the walls will be built, you will definitely need curved (semicircular and round) parts. Without them, it will not be possible to create an opening mechanism. In addition, you will need special latches for doors, a wheel with numbering.
The most difficult thing in the process of how to make a safe out of Lego is the collection of a tearing mechanism. First you need to find round bricks, which will be the locks: for a three-digit code, there should be 3 pieces. Around each of them curved elements are laid in such a way that there is space between them - a special groove. A plate is laid over the assembled structure, over which a spherical part is again installed. A 4 * 4 plate is again placed on it, and only then a small round brick is installed: a special valve latches onto it. The code lock code will depend on its installation location.
After all, the principle of operation of the mechanism is based on the fact that when the lock is rotated, each round element must engage the valve of the next part of the lock, and the movement is transmitted further. When all the correct numbers are selected, the mechanism rotates the installed stopper and the safe doors open. Of course, in order to better understand how to make a “Lego” safe, the principle of operation of the code lock, it is better to understand not only using text and pictures, but also video instructions. But with the collection of the rest of the safe there is usually no problem. The main thing is to make strong walls, floor and roof.
