3D Printed EM Gauge Check Rail Chair

[animotion]

Doing some test prints for scratch built EM gauge track. Here is a 3D printed Midland Railway check rail chair with a 1mm gap for EM gauge I have produced. I plan to create a whole range of Midland Railway chairs that aren’t commercially available for point work.

Hey,

 

Looking fantastic! What printer and material? Also what software did you design in?

 

Are you planning on using cyanoacrylate to glue it to the ply timbers?

Hi Wayne the printer I used is a Nova3D Elfin 2 printer available on Amazon and the software is Fusion 360.

Hi John the check rail chair is the only one I have done sofare but I will be working on the block chairs for all the different angles and they will be to the Midland Railway paterns that will be available in 4mm and 7mm.

Hi Wayne

Did a test glueing the chair to a ply sleeper with Bond it high viscocity super glue which is a cyanoacrylate glue and  it has stuck very firmly to the ply. I have applied some pressure to the chair to try and get it off but it did not budge.
