Not sure there is a need, I aim to start batch printing in next few days.
-
I'm not sure yet ed, I'm going to source wheels tomorrow and do a test build of what I've printed then try and calculate the cost of the print. It does take time to do the bits individual;y so I will be doing batch prints of components to hopefully speed it up a bit. The MOST it will cost is £70 based on what paul was charging but I have a feeling it will be less as I am not charging for my time but any surplus will go to a preservation project I'm involved in.

A lot of components, now to verify I've printed the right quantities then test build. Sadly test build has to wait until Wednesday evening.
-
Great project? I'll hopefully have the first full set printed today, will be doing things slightly different for future batchs but the basics are there.
-
No but if you want me to print you one I can.
-
Finally progress is being made after some initial setbacks.
-
My 3D printer has arrived and test prints will be started tomorrow (Thursday)
-
No it doesn't unless the sections are split at seams like doors etc or printed in blocks
-
Don't even need to measure, basic maths say my plate would not do something this size
-
For 3D printing , rather than putting the print parallel to the edges put it at 45 degree angle to give more print length
-
Will have to measure the plate when it arrives, skewing at an angle may work
-
What are the dimensions, I'm assuming your doing it in 00?
-
I'm liking this design, however have a feeling it won't fit on my 3D printer as is!
-
Is this an australian prototype?
-
Thanks Mr_tilt, pass on all of our best wishes to him. Shane
-
None of us do, let's give him time to reply and me time to pick up my printer on Friday
-
Ok guys, I'll do some test prints next week and try to work out a cost. If I get Paul's work then his costs will be covered and after that any surplus goes to 2859 Locomotive Group to fund its activities. https://www.facebook.com/2859LocomotiveGroupLTD/?fref=ts

Even if I can't use what Paul created to date, I can print one for you when I can.
-
I will await to hear what Paul says, I am collecting my printer this week (was ment to be tonight but for personal reasons had to delay). Please do bear in mind that there may be differences between the two in terms of colours and finish etc but should still work.
-
Not sure where paul is based, but I could in theory collect the 75% completed kits, print the remaining 25% and organise for them to be available to whoever wants them. Obviously Paul would need to get the funds for the 75% he has completed.
-
Cheers I will do
-
Unfortunately they are not, many eBay sellers have lost out on posting abroad as item takes too long to get through, buyer gets annoyed files against seller, wins then item turns up so seller looses out big style.
-
I've sent them an email to ask as the search engine does not find it either.
-
Was not aware they were, thanks for that tip
