Templot sorts it out for you. Select the required prototype WAY dimension and Templot will calculate and use the required model track CENTRES. For 00 etc. the distance between the rails is increased accordingly. On sharp curves increase the WAY setting to ensure adequate running clearance. Or you can use the dummy vehicle function to find out and set the required increased track centres. Martin.

Even for a canal.

Hayfields 3D printed track workshop
martin_wynne replied to hayfield's topic in Handbuilt Track & Templot
Hi Tom, Just to clarify for everyone that you are not using Templot 3D plug track. I think you have created your own 3D files to match a 2D Templot track plan? It's hard work trying to make sure folks don't get confused. Templot 3D plug track puts the webs at the end of the timbers, and has its own system of connector clips for modules (called "bricks" in Templot -- think Lego). As you say, it all gets lost under the ballast: cheers, Martin. -

@MJI Hi Martin, If starting in FDM, you might want to look at the topics on the Templot Club forum, such as: https://85a.uk/templot/club/index.php?threads/3d-printer-kingroon-kp3s-pro-s1.850/ The standard profiles supplied with most FDM printers may not give the best results for timbering bases. See the above link for suggested custom settings. cheers, Martin. -

@MJI Hi Martin, Most users are using FDM printing or laser-cut ply for the timbering bases. With ABS-Like resin for the chairs. This is FDM timbering: Martin. -

@hayfield Hi John, See also: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/forums/topic/148665-williams-workbench-lbscr-lcdr-ser/?do=findComment&comment=5423177 STL files can be downloaded from: https://www.g1-3d.uk/models/table The scale can be changed in Cura. For fine detail you may do better with ordinary PLA instead of the PLA-PLUS toughened filament. Martin. -

@KeithHC Hi Keith, If you are intending to use the loose outer jaws in Templot plug track, that's not really recommended. The paint will tend to clog the tiny slots for the loose jaws and make fitting them difficult. Masking the slots would be tricky, although could be done with a set of scrap loose jaws kept for the purpose -- very tedious to insert and remove them all. cheers, Martin.
