Thanks, John I will look at Atom but I hoping someone has V18 out there they are willing to sell

I have Cubify V14 which ceased being made in 2014. A mate sent me some files which require version 18 but he doesn't have 18 anymore since his computer crash. Can anyone help me out with a download or sell a copy to me.

I have an earlier version of Cubify - how easy is it in making domes and funnels as I find it impossible with Cubify - I resort to creating the dome but where the flange is I cant get the flowing shape and just punch a washer out in card that wraps to the boiler and then fill the radius with modellers putty.

I did a print on the weekend and they look better. Thanks for the tips

Mike and Paul. Thank you for the replies. I hadnt seen anything on the lift speed before so I left that setting alone even though I use Chitubox. Well what a dummy I am. I'll do a print on the weekend as see how it goes. The marvels of the group- here I am in Australia and I get a reply from halfway around the world. Yeah!!! Cheers Chris

Reading various online forums regarding the various exposure setting I thought I would try to change the vertical lift speed from its default of 65mm/minute to 50mm/minute. This controls the speed that the print is lifted from the FEP so reducing it to 50 is less traumatic and is supposed to improve print quality. Where is this setting in Anycubic slicer? TIA Chris

When is the book due?

I just use Metho as its cheaper and does a good job also

Hi Jim, so to finish this off I can import my current wagon into meshmixer as a stl and then import your panel onto the wagon? Am I reading that right? Cheers Chris

That sounds nice and easy but I'm stuck with Cubify. The entire wagon is drawn but I only need these panels done so I can print. Anyone with Cubify knowledge - can you give me the steps as I don't want to learn another program again

Thanks. lol now struggling to work out what pictures 3 & 4 are doing in the above diagram. Will try again over the next day or so to see if I can nut it out.

Thank you for the replies. I want to print them on my printer. I need 20 N scale wagons but still cant quiet make out what to do. I have re-read rue_d_etropal posts about 4 times but still struggling with how to apply it to the raised panel on the door. I understand about the X being scribbed into the back of the brass sheet but these will be 3D prints so I cant use that method. Maybe a drawing in a couple of screen grabs may be the go so I can marry the pictures to the words above. Thanks Chris

I'm trying to chisel (best word I can find) all 4 sides of the raised door on a wagon to create a pressing that's raised in the middle. I've tried drawing shapes and loft cutting from 2 different sides. I've tried a couple of lots but no cigar! Pictures of the model wagon and the real one. If you can help in Cubify all the better as that is what I use. I will be printing these in N scale if I can wrap my head around what to do to achieve this. Thanks in advance. Chris

Martin, I'm here is Aus as well. I do N scale wagons etc. using my laser and brass etching. My N scale VR QR wagon is made from 0.8mm 3ply and the strapping is 0.3mm card. www.spiritdesign.com.au Cheers Chris
