Messing around in 3mm on a 3d printer.

[bradfordbuffer]

Latest projects messing around with my mono x printer....
Class 58 bogies from thingiverse (free download) original stl file was drawn for Ho so reduced it by 86% outer axel to outer has come out at 42mm by my calculations should be nearer 41mm so will re do at 85% that should reduce to nearer scale. 
Good original drawing file printed well, the chap who has drawn also has c58 body and underframe...not printed yet...he has plans for more uk stuff just need time..!

Undercoated from a rattle can so a bit thick.

Scrap wagon was a bought stl file of cults web only a few quid, originally 4mm so when reduced to 3mm the sides where far to thin and first bring failed dramatically and was born deformed....First pic...back to drawing board....I then on the slicing program added a box inside the wagon for strength had 3 failures to stick to build plate and was just a mess in resin vat had another try yesterday bingo success..well nearly bit of deformity at top of wagon I'm going to add some more supports and have another bash....bracing a bit on the thin side but 3mm beggers can't be fussy.
