... 60 degrees. Adhesion is rarely a problem as long as the glass is squeaky clean; we use paper towel and meths for cleaning between prints. There have been adhesion problems with small diameter prints at around 6 mill diameter or less; The printer used by MERG is a Makerbot Replicator2. This also has a 0.4mm nozzle but no heated bed plate. For a large box (17cm x 8cm) I had problems with a corner lifting during printing. I tried helper discs http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2013/04/19/keep-corners-flat-with-makerwares-helper-discs but this did not solve the problem. I am now printing on BuildTak and that works http://shop.3dfilaprint.com/buildtak-3d-printing-platform-surface-1200-p.asp For very small objects I have also used double sided adhesive tape on top of the normal blue painter's tape.

It really needs a third option "in front of picture shapes only" which I did look at, but it required a lot of new code and a major change to the way the pad screen is double-buffered.

... rail gauge to be 16.68mm or the back to back to be 14.32. I suspect there is a combination of all these factors that means the 1mm flangeway is a nominal measurement and hence is allowing all stock to run freely. No doubt a combination of tolerances and tight B to B measurement will enevitably mean one piece of stock may be a problem but I can deal with that at the time. Thanks for the note about 16.2mm gauge Martin. I'll give it some further thought.. posted: 9 Nov 2007 18:04 from: Martin Wynne Hi Gordon, The gauges are definitely 16.5 with 1mm flangeways. Common sense says if that is the case, stock with B to B's less than 14.5 should bind on the checkrails. The fact that they don't led me to investigate further. The track slot in the gauge is 0.91mm and the check rail gap definitely 1mm. However when I measured SMP bullhead rail it is actually 0.82 so there could be some lateral movement of the rail within the gauge, which in some cases could allow the rail ...
... your observation that there was nearly an inch of travel on the front bolt (is that the one at the toe end of the fishplate?)- that surprised me, given that the toe opening is presumably in the region of 4.5" (NBR practice seems to have allowed for a smaller toe opening of about 3.5"). I get the impression that Australian and British practices had significant diferences, and it would be interesting to see a drawing/picture of the A.R.E.A. heel system. posted: 18 Feb 2019 04:03 from: Andrew Duncan Nigel Brown wrote: Andrew Duncan wrote: Nigel Brown wrote: I build loose heel switches as loose heel switches.

From one who hates popups! I honestly don't think there is a problem with "irregular". Of all the things which folk might get confused with in Templot, the danger here must be pretty minimal. My guess anyway. If it is really seen as a problem, I'd suggest symmetric/asymmetric instead. cheers Nigel posted: 22 May 2010 12 ...

However, you stopped just short of the point that would really make me happy, sorting out the sleepering where the track joins the turnout. The first sleeper of the plain tracks leaving the turnout overlap and I can't see an obvious way to move the sleepers, without overlap of the other track and maintaining the correct fishplate distance at the joint.

... an expert in that time, but I will probably increase my knowledge tenfold. This particular change seems non-critical, so if you are happy to leave it a while longer I would like to come back to it when I code again and see if I can get closer to a real solution.

... of the middle crossing -- which will therefore need to be left-hand, with a negative main road radius of -7402mm. 3. 01:30- 02:30 So make the 2nd turnout current and slide the peg along the turnout-road crossing rail until it is somewhere near the middle crossing. The exact position does not matter. Store it again, and set a distinctive marker colour (optional). Bat its name label out of the way (optional). 4. 02:30- 04:00 Get a new turnout template and set the curving to -7402mm, as previously determined. (Alternatively you could adjust it later to align, using F6 mouse action.) Temporarily turn off the timbering. Guess a near size for the crossing angle, here I set 1:4.5. Select the longest switch available. This is a temporary suggestion until gaunt turnouts are available in a later pug. (I will expand on this separately.) I set a 30ft straight switch. Change the V-crossing ...

... calibrated full page height is less than 257mm, or the height is less than the width. The normal figures for A4 would be at least 200mm wide by 280mm high, so it would be surprising if an Epson printer is that far out. Or any printer for that matter. When you have been printing templates with the printer uncalibrated, have they been reasonably accurate? The grid lines by default should measure 50mm square.
