Hi Martin,
I am hoping that you will retain the option to print chairs and timbers separately, as my preference is to be able to paint the chairs and timbers with different colours and it makes life easier if that is done before assembly.
As far as bed fltness is concerned is that really an issue? Do we worry about the flatness of the trackbed to those tolerances?
How flat are the components of out trackbed, plywood, layer of glue, cork, then another layer of glue for the timbers?
Just being a devils advocate here!
What you have produced so far has been very practical, and relatively easy to assemble, even the separate jaws. I am really looking forward to being able to print some check chairs the design of which you have appeared to crack.
As for the crossing chairs for a simple turnout, are there any particular designs problems that you are facing?
Appart from the reams of coding required that is!
Resin printing
I have been wondering about the possibility of speeding up the after print draining process.
After rpinting \i might try replacing the build plate knob with a suitable piece of studding, then inserting the end of the studding into an electric drill and then slowly spinning the build plate in a round plastic bowl as a home made centrifuge and let centripetal force do the rest. All this talk of marbles and cheese cutters have made my mid race.
All this written because my eggs were scrambled this morning!
