    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?

    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
  11. Spiritofprogress
    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

    Sent files today. Found out as I replied to your post they went to into@RMWEB! Silly me. Cheers Chris

    Calvin did the plan I sent via email help at all. Cheers Chris

    Ok, no cubify replies. Can someone show me how to do it in Sketchup and I'll learn it instead as Cubify seems to have died
  19. Spiritofprogress
    I've tried different ways to try an achieve a compounded roof end but have had no luck. If anyone out there can draw my carriage end in Cubify so that I can then look into the file step by step it would be great. I don't have the funds to purchase another program so I need someone to show the file in Cubify. Pictures below of what I need. There are two styles of roofs. I hope to 3D print a master and then vacuum form the roofs in 0.5mm styrene. Thanks in advance - Chris

    No, our Methylated spirits is not the same as white spirits(Turps) here in Australia. Around 90% of methylated spirits is ethanol; so it's incredibly strong. The main additive is 10% methanol, which is highly toxic, but it may also include isopropyl alcohol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or other substances. This cleans anycubic fine.

    Just saw this. Anyway done on all your items fascinating stuff. On cleaning prints. In Australia I use Methylated spirits which is cheaper and does a great job. Resin, filters I buy a bulk pack of paint cone strainers from a paint supplier in boxes of 1000 for about $50AUD

    I have the complete set except for part no 88 which a few people seem to be missing. Anyone got a spare. please email me spiritofprogress@gmail.com Cheers Chris
  23. Spiritofprogress
    I can certainly sprue the entire lot as 1 part but in the past when I did it you wouldn't allow it and said it was 30 parts. As an end user we cant seem to win here.
  24. Spiritofprogress
    Sorry should have mentioned both models have been printed before for $100 per set but the new price for the 2nd one is now $300 instead of $100 Chris

    My pricing by shapeways for FUD is all over the shop so to speak. I can do under frames for one type of wagon and they cost $100 the same under frame with a slightly different details for a 2nd wagon costs $300! What's going on! Since this has happened I haven't printed anything with shapeways and I'm investigating China plus printing my own stuff on a resin printer
