Re: Track Experiments
Well done Paul with your track experiments, it is something much needed. I too have been experimenting, but only for personal use. I decided just to try plain sleepers with alternating ties under the

Re: Track Experiments
The limiting factor is getting more on the build platform across the X & Y axis. Roughly speaking the print time doesn’t increase massively if you add more stuff in a layer as the system has to scan

Paul, I think it was you telling me that story that converted me to it too! Cheers, Robin

Re: Track Experiments
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

Re: Track Experiments
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

Re: Sculptamold
Robin Thanks for spreading the sculptamold word. I should perhaps declare an inside track on the net curtain source. Annie works in the fundraising section of St Leonard’s Hospice here in York.

Sculptamold
The latest EDM Models Newsletter has a handy tip for using Sculptamold as a plaster bandage styled product. As Paul says: It works the same as plaster but it's cellulose based (paper). When it

Re: Track Experiments
Brian asking about printing directly on the build platform gives me the opportunity to talk about printers. Suggesting I print on the build platform suggests he is thinking of an FDM printer. FDM

Re: Track Experiments
Looks very intriguing Paul, I don’t know what sleeper size you are working on but here is an extract from a list originally compiled by Brandon Evans for the 7mm NGA handbook. Railway

Hi Paul Sorry, yes I did, and though I’d been told, I forgot you’d had to change plans 8-(

Re: Track Experiments
Paul, How come you can’t just print the sleepers on the table base without all the other support structure? Brian Rawbelle County Workshops Qld. Aust. Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2019 8:58

Re: Track Experiments
Just to elaborate a bit more before you all go planning layouts using this flexible track this is some way off being a product. It prints on a base similar to that shown above and all the support

Simon, I assume you mean for the group curry?? Sorry won't be there as I am working here in York that day until late. Some clown decided to have an election

Ooh, that is encouraging. You’re most welcome to test if it’s idiot-proof by bringing a sample for the O14 idiot at Derby next week ;-) Cheers Simon

I don't think that you'll have any trouble selling this, even in kit form. Then you can start on the points!! Ralph.

Re: Track Experiments
Paul, Stick to grey, don't go down the Peco and everyone else dark brown. I think this probably goes back to track with Bakelite sleepers which would be dark brown, think old fashioned plugs.
