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 Some of the earlier pages of this topic are now out-of-date.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

Just wanted to express my thanks to Martin and everyone contributing to Templot and its experimental features. This weekend, I printed some COT track, and to my untrained eye, they look fantastic. The scale perspective, the functionality, and the fact that I can replicate my drawings are all superb to me. For the simple shelf layouts I enjoy, Templot and its experimental features are absolutely brilliant. Bravo, and thank you for all your efforts!

Welcome to the small band of COT track experimenters, will be good to see both the results of your printing, and your thoughts and experience throughout the printing and building processes

Well, I may be considered a heretic and I don't want to upset the apple cart.

My chosen scale is OO, using a Bambulab X1C ( I know, I know, I know... COT is for 7mm) using eSun PLA+. I tried a 0.4 mm nozzle with a high quality setting and to be fair it was ok. So, I've ordered a 0.2 nozzle and will try the finer Bambulab stock settings to see what the outcome is before fettling. If I can get the keys holes to be more defined for the crossing chairs then i'd be more than happy.

My inspiration for this test came from the tabletop war gaming community who are turning to FDM printing for 28mm miniatures. Basically, they're fed up with resin printing because of the health consequences, mess and logistics of resin printing. There's some stunning, FDM printed miniatures out there so I thought why not give it a go? I think a finer nozzle will work a treat, 'he who dares Rodders'
