OliverSR Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Not an STL file but @Bluebell Model Railway created these which he prints and sells himself. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202794963730 OliverSR 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard 5374 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’ve done a NEM coupling pocket adapter, I’ll throw it onto Thingiverse tonight and post the link to the STL file here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard 5374 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’ve done a few versions but this is just to show the design works and works well at that. 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard 5374 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 As promised, here is the link to my freeware (non commercial) NEM pocket. If you have your own printer, I'd be interested in seeing a few people make it and use it https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4115624 Hope this is of use 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowcliff Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks that is what I wanted, I have just got to get the 3d printer back in action. thanks Cliff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebell Model Railway Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Wondered why there was a rush on them today, now I know why... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard 5374 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Looks like Thingiverse have taken down my freeware release of the NEM coupling, however if you wish to make your own I am happy to share with you the drawings I worked from, based from the CAD model I developed from a Hornby coupling and a Hornby NEM pocket. Whilst the file was taken down by DMCA, hopefully these drawings will help anyone wishing to draw up their own. The standards to model the pocket height/sizes are freely available through the MOROP website to anyone wishing to do so. All in German but I am sure that it's easy enough to work it all out and draw it up on your chosen CAD package. https://www.morop.org/downloads/nem/de/nem362_d.pdf An English version is available here: http://www.doubleogauge.com/standards/couplings.htm Hope this helps anyone wishing to make their own Edited January 21, 2020 by Vanguard 5374 Change message 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Lewis Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Are you able to reshare these files? I’m trying to 3D model a NEM socket for TT scale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
