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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

Nothing to do with Templot other than 3-D printing. If you have a 3-D printer (or you know someone who does) you might be able to produce your own gears rather than buy them (usually they are not cheap).

I have printed some repro Tri-ang 20:1 two-start worm gears and I've been playing around with helical gearing. I'm using TurboCAD and it did most of the work but there might be other inexpensive (or free) software that can do the same thing.
