... from: Charles Orr And here is the Simplify3D fff file. Attachment: attach_3037_2734_PLA_Generic_Chas _V34.0.fff 86 posted: 11 May 2020 12:58 from: Martin Wynne Hi Charles, Thanks for the files. I can see that your printer references co-ordinates from the corner of the bed instead of the centre, as in the Bibo. That's what I meant by gcode files being specific to a printer. As a matter of interest, attached is the gcode file generated by Templot for the 4mm scale BS-95R bullhead rail: 2_111752_390000002.jpg Don't try to use it on your printer, but you can load it into the preview simulator in Simplify3D to watch the process -- File> Preview G-Code File... menu item. Notice the half-keys being inserted into the rail web. The slab on the right is a purge-patch for the nozzle. 2_110807_280000000.png It won't escape your notice that I still have a long way to go, but I think I have at least proved the concept. I do now have the radio- ...

... were hopeless. The above was done by generating the Gcode file for the printer directly from Templot. For the switch blades the rail is easily flexible enough to build flexible switches, but there is no way it will be possible to print all the way to a knife edge. Working with files on the tough plastic is not very successful, but I have found that final fettling can be done with cheap disposable emery boards: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manicare-10G11282-Lasting-Emery-Boards/dp/B078BC3TDW 2_111752_390000002.jpg 2_111752_390000001.jpg Next job is to order some silver-grey polymer for the running rails (keeping this brown for sidings and check rails). All this would have been a lot easier in 7mm/ft scale, but I wanted to discover the limits of the process. Also having only an 8" square work-bed on the printer means doing pointwork in 7mm scale will be a major jig-saw puzzle. But if anyone is looking for 2mm, I think it would have to be done in resin. cheers ...
