Oppose Die Bohrung ist zu groß, so ein Plastedübel wird erheblich stärker verformt. Auch die Wirkung des Verdrehschutzes wird nicht ganz deutlich. Ansonsten sehr anschaulich gemacht. -- smial (talk) 09:05, 13 May 2011 (UTC) Schade, wesentliche Mängel nicht beseitigt, deshalb jetzt kontra. -- smial (talk) 08:13, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In my opinion it seems not complete... --Llorenzi (talk) 10:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What is missing? -- ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼苦情処理係 10:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Multi purpose dowel

Comment There are many kinds of wall plugs, but I think that for most kinds (at least the ones i use at home :-)) there is an additional point in the fixture - that as you continue turning the screw the plug is contracting forming a bulge, which further helps fix it in the wall. I think the animation could be improved by adding that aspect of the process. --Slaunger (talk) 11:25, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You are speaking of a different type of dowel and therefore should be made another animation, as it works different. -- smial (talk) 12:17, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ah, yes. But in that case I really think the animation should show more clearly that a tight fit in the hole is typically needed for this kind of wall plug, as otherwise it will simply not mount properly as noted by Sting and Prolineserver below. It is a very illustrative and instructive photo montage of the multipurpose plug you have there by the way, smial. --Slaunger (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment And also I cannot see when the plug is expanding due to the entrance of the screw...--Llorenzi (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment –Very well made and fluid but some points are disturbing me: the end of the hole doesn't have an ogive shape but is conic, secondly and for the efficiency of the mounting, the dowel should enter the hole slightly by force while we see that there's space between both, so when the screw enters the dewclaws (is it the correct term?) are deformed. Here we see they enter in contact with the wall but we don't feel the force applied. Sting (talk) 11:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support High quality and good illustration of this tool. Which software was used to create it? --The High Fin Sperm Whale 22:11, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I used Blender for this animation (modelling, animation and rendering). For still images i used Blender for modelling and YafaRay or LuxRender for rendering. (LuxRender is best, but to slow for animations with no/low budget) -- ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼苦情処理係 23:02, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice illustration. Tomer T (talk) 09:52, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, certainly a very illustrative animation. However, everybody who ever tried to tighten a screw into a dowel with a too big hole know that the dowel will just turn. In the animation the only part touching the wall are the two side anchors. However, those will only have enough force to hold the dowel at around 0:13 in the animation, but the dowel will start turning already at around 0:11s. The hole usually has the best size if one barely manages to push the dowel into the hole with the fingers. Try it out :) --Prolineserver (talk) 12:11, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
SupportGood animation, fluid and accurate. Azeri (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Very nice animation, but I think a tighter fit in the hole is needed to make it more realistic. I would be happy to support if such an adjustment is made. --Slaunger (talk) 15:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not realistic enough. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:17, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
