Mass Production of Elbow Steam Pipes


Recommended Posts

  • RMweb Premium

I have been very kindly been given a pair of elbow pipes in OO which could be used to update a Star.

 

I am also aware that straight pipes are needed to update late moguls.

 

Whilst not wanting to go "into business" if there is a way to get a few sets made and out to people who need these,  at cost, that would be a good thing to do.

 

A few questions to the Hive-mind of RM Web:

 

1.  What is the best way to have these replicated - 3D print, white metal, moulded "plastic"????

 

2.  And is this going to be viable?  If the 3D set up costs £50, it's tough to spread that over a dozen sets.

 

3.  If someone is making Castle style elbow pipes, it's not worth starting.

If you don't want to go into business and the costs don't stack up for whatever reasons, how about making 3D models of the pipes publicly available for people to print on their own 3D printer?
