RR 3D Prints |
The trestle is 3D printed. See the master design below.

Here some of my 3D printed projects.
Creating 3D models and 3D printing were new to me as of December 2019. I have worked with AutoCad 2D for years including at work but adding the third dimension is like the difference between driving a car and flying an airplane.
One challenge I am working on is adding the physical displacement such as a cut stone face on an abutment or a tunnel portal. I have recently been provided with major insight on using Blender to add physical displacement to my models that will print. My original models used a displaced face on a thin panel that I created and then glue it on the model.
I gladly share any of my model or print files to those who want to print their own. Please contact me with any requests, questions or ideas.
I use SketchUp 2021 for most of my models and have been trying Fusion 360 recently.
Contact me if you would like the model file. Most of the parts in the interiors are done as separate components so you can use them to easily build your own interior.

HO MDC Overton Combine interior Slicer settings: I set the layer at 0.15 Quality and then modify the height so layers 0 to 1.0 are set at 0.20. I also set the infill angle so the top of the floor layer is perpendicular to the long walls. |

HO MDC Overton Business Car interior Slicer settings: I set the layer at 0.15 Quality and then modify the height so layers 0 to 1.0 are set at 0.20. I also set the infill angle so the top of the floor layer is perpendicular to the long walls. Lounge seats facing inward Two table tops are included, one with dishes and one plain. They need to be glued on the risers. |

HO Track Tool makes it easy to get smooth curves with flex track. Code 100 works on all. Running this along the flex track with a twisting motion will create a sweeping curve. Particularly good to use with Micro Engineering track. |

NCE PCP box to house the PCP panel. It works with both the 3 and 4 connector versions. Use this box with the NCE cover plate or print one of the custom plates shown below. Note: The holes in this box are 2.7mm (0.1065") diameter. This will allow using #4 sheet metal screws which is what I use or the M3 equivalent. The hole pattern matches the NCE faceplate. See my NCE PCP with Auto Switch for more information. |

NCE PCP coverBkt | stl |
NCE PCP box with a bracket inside for the Auto Switch. This was the first design and I would prefer the box above with the bracket on the cover. See my NCE PCP with Auto Switch for more information. Note: The holes in this box are 2.7mm (0.1065") diameter. This will allow using #4 sheet metal screws which is what I use or the M3 equivalent. The hole pattern matches the NCE faceplate. |

NCE PCP Box 2 | stl |
NCE PCP box plain cover with openings for the DPDT switch and LED (front view). Use with the box above that has the bracket inside. See my NCE PCP with Auto Switch for more information. The hole pattern matches the NCE faceplate. |

Magnetic Corner Clamps These will work great for structure assembly. Clamps with 2 - 15x5x2mm rare earth bar magnets in each slot. I used Scotch tape to cover the slot. The slot is actually 20 x 6 x 3.8 mm. With the Scotch tape cover, the magnets can move to find the strongest position. |
