thank you

You’ll probably want to use armatures to get it to open and close. If you’re new to armatures and rigging, check out this documentation:

Happy Blendering!

Noooooooo! Don’t use armatures!!!
Here’s a do-over for you.

BLENDER FILE

Things to examine:
*Parenting and Centre Points - Look at how the objects are related to each other
*Track to - Both ends of the rear piston are tracking to each other so their movement is automatic
*IPOs. Use keyframes to define rotation of key parts (Note only 3 objects keyframed here. Rest are rotated according to their relationship to those objects.)

I think I understand. I am glad to help before.

Armatures more advanced than IPO. Better to start simple.

Thank you for explaining you are not hearing. Old friend mine also deaf. Words not flow same ?

I do not mean offence typing this way, only hope you understand more easy.
