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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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.

Hi Folks,

I thought I read somewhere that I could draw a line in relation to track templates which I could use to print a template for my platforms. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

TIA

Russell

Hi Russsell,

Click real > platforms... to add a platform on each side of a template. You can adjust the width at each end, front spacing from the track, and several other options. More info in this old topic:

https://85a.uk/templot/archive/topics/topic_1547.php

If you want to print a template for cutting the platforms only, untick what you don't want on the output settings:

You can change the colour for the printed platforms in the output menu. I recommend you set the platform infill style to none to avoid wasting ink.

cheers,

Martin.
