TEMPLOT 3D PLUG TRACK - To get up to speed with this experimental project click here.   To watch an introductory video click here.   See the User Guide at Bexhill West.

  • The Plug Track functions are experimental and still being developed. Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.

    For an updated overview of this project see this topic.   For some practical modelling aspects of using Plug Track see Building 3D Track.

    The assumption is that you have your own machines on which to experiment, or helpful friends with machines. Please do not send Templot files to commercial laser cutting or 3D printing firms while this project is still experimental, because the results are unpredictable and possibly wasteful.

    Some pages of this and other topics include contributions from members who are creating and posting their own CAD designs for 3D printing and laser-cutting. Do not confuse them with Templot's own exported CAD files. All files derived from Templot are © Martin Wynne.

Not a huge problem but…… When I do an export dxf the dialogue box comes up with open in 3D builder. However 3D builder does not open and I then have to open 3D builder separately and then open the file. From then it all works fine.

Hi Keith,

That means you haven't got STL files associated with 3D Builder.

Try right-clicking on an STL file and then open with... You should then be able to select 3D Builder from a list, and tell Windows to use 3D Builder always for STL files.

Or try uninstalling it and then re-installing it. Which version of Windows are you using?

cheers,

Martin.
