3D printed vacuum piping

[3 minutes of fame]

I failed miserably to find a nice design for some generic vacuum pipes for my stock, so a good friend who I print 00 and 009 bits for his shop designed these for me.

If anybody would like some, I'll do them for £12 for 6, including UK postage. That's as shown below, printed in black resin.

Nice, are these a similar size to the LGB vac hoses? If so, I will take a set please

If you could let me have the size of the LGB hoses, I will happily scale the print to match. Probably need height of the fitting, plus approx diameter of the hose.

This is the print fitted to a set of my 16mm Bug Boxes

I'm missing some hoses on one of my Wizzy Cranks locos. It should have 4 but I only have 2.

Could you print me some if I send you a hose please? They are different to the ones found on LGB wagons....

I'm more than happy to take a look. Do you want to send me a private message and I can let you have a postal address etc.

Even though they are already black, you might want to paint them to create a layer to block the UV rays from the photosensitive resin, so they don't get too brittle too fast in sun light.

Sounds like a good idea, likely I will spray undercoat grey then matt black, then some subtle weathering.
