... A quick pic of some painted 7mm scale chairs. In the middle we have 4 3D crossing chairs and 4 3D check rail chairs. Round the outside are Exactoscale and C&L samples. P.S. The Shapeways chairs are printed in what they call 'Smooth Fine Detail Plastic' Hi Rob, Many thanks for those. They look great. When Shapeways say "printed plastic" do they mean from filament, or some other process? Or cured from resin? Here's the latest from me (7mm, Peco rail): 2_201859_050000000.jpg Getting a bit better, but not comparable with Shapeways. This is PLA rather than PLA+, printed at a lower temperature* with the fans full blast. And afterwards popped in the freezer for an hour. *180C on the dial, but I have no idea how well calibrated the machine's thermistors might be, or even how well the two extruders are thermally matched. This was exactly the same GCODE as before (ex Cura). My next step is to try other slicing software, and I also want ...
2. 3D again?
... and 3D printing to create complex track formations, and such layouts are within anyone's reach -- no more requests on RMweb for help with filing switch blades and using track gauges and which track standard to use. Now what we need is a computer program which can produce the 3D printer files for your common-or-garden slip crossover or curved double junction -- anyone have any ideas where to find such a thing? 2_260016_310000003.png Freed from the need to fiddle about with sore fingers and bits of rail and broken chairs, 2_201859_050000000.jpg (two sleepers is a long way from a working layout) I think I could rediscover my enthusiasm for the 3D-printed track -- but this time the whole thing, with all the complex rail parts printed-in too. It just need some thought about separately printed switch blades and maybe a return to loose-heel switches. For filament printing it is going to need water-sol supports below the rails -- but I have a dual-nozzle printer... Or maybe not -- if ...
