Again, I am speaking from ignorance but I recall reading somewhere that there is an optimal angle for printing and that vertical printing is not necessarily the best orientation.
Happy to have my misunderstanding corrected.
Cheers

This is a really interesting development Paul. I'm assuming the main limiting factor is time not printed volume, although more volume = more resin cost. I wonder if you could get a larger quantity and use less support by printing them vertically back to
back with just a few joiners at the bottom to stop them flapping about. I'm also assuming that this potentially opens the way to printing to order to a specified sleeper size and spacing - and for turnout bases too. All we need now is castings for crossings
and planed blades in Karlgarin and ME profiles.
