How does your garden grow? With 16mm Garden tools, obviously
Following a request for some garden tools I took to the Thingiverse and found a couple of items to print. The spade, fork and grass rake were made for 12th scale but scaled down to 16mm without too much issue. I then drew up a rake and, because I couldn't find ones I like the look of, a watering can and plant pots.
The nice thing about the plant pots was that I only had to draw one size and then scale them in the slicer on the printer to get a range of sizes.
While in printing mode I also made the 56lb weights I wanted for my coal scales.
Just for fun I tried assembling the weighbridge equipment in CAD and printing it at 4mm scale. Amazing it printed so I'll get in touch with the NEEAG and send them some for Lavenham. I think I'll stick one on the goods shed platform of Clare too. Sorry for the quality of the picture, trying to get the camera to focus on this tiny part was a bit tricky.
Last I added some tortoise stoves to the build plate, in 16mm, 7mm and 4mm scales. In 16mm you can read the text, in 7mm you can just make out the tortoise logo.
I'm really happy with the improvement in the reliability of the resin print since I added a little heater to it. I've now had four or five print runs on cold evenings with no failures.
