RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted June 2, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2023 Last photo of the day, otherwise it might get boring…. ….at Warren being a grounded van the opposite sliding door has been welded shut, hence why staff can hang up their jackets I’ve ordered one of these to go up on the wall, thought it would add a little interest 13 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the works dept would have ensured that a mains supply could be tapped off from the feed to the water tower before siting the grounded van and the necessary ground works were undertaken to run in the new water supply. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted June 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2023 It would be just a bog standard brass pillar tap, wouldn't it? No hot water either. They'd use the kettle on the stove. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schooner Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Yup, I reckon but Google wasn't interested in being helpful and I couldn't bring myself to suggest Chris try to model a handwheel valve so small! Although... ...how fine is the resolution on that 3D printer again...? 😈 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted June 6, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 6, 2023 Impressive work with the CC2 / CC7 vans, I havent tried including the DC brakegear on a print as part of the body before, looking at that I think I need to try it next time. Out of interest what angle are you printing at, and is this an ABS type resin? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had any issues with it causing deformities on the Fep?

I found printing a rectangular body like the brakedown mess/tool vans I ended up with the fep getting pulled up leaving an outline of the print embossed into the film no issues as yet possibly because I use a skate on Chitubox and use slow lift and retract speeds to reduce the peel forces The default lift/retract speeds are 180mm/s and 240mm/s I’ve reduced these by two thirds to 60 and 80 Edited June 6, 2023 by chuffinghell 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishplate Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I was similarly baffled.
