My 3d Printer and models
My 3d Printer and modelsHI All (didn't see there was a section for 3d printers)
I use a crap, bodged, fixed and modified FDM printer to make parts for building (and other stuff) on my layout. but basicaly i draw and print kits and parts. for example the tower and stone work, footbridge, windows, and point rodding are pirnted but the stone walls are plasticard etc.. I thought i would post here as well as in layout section but concentrate on printer stuff here..

Eastpoint Yard ( Fictional Canal Wharf )
Eastpoint Yard ( Fictional Canal Wharf )hi on one end of my layout i want to put a small yard (for HO/OO 0-4-0 loco's probably pushing a max of 2 trucks at a time) for simple shuting whilst the main layout runs in background. but i am having issues finding tight turnouts (as small a radius as pos), do people tend to build them or is there a good supplier etc..
trying to learn templot atm just in case i have to build etc, but my god thats complex (due to complex subject i fear)
any help appreciated, as next q' is about rewire/remotor old 0-4-0's to make them run smother etc..
