Lazy Grange Bay 3...a new start

[CharlieBear]

............... and Mike's worn the printer out already

I'm worn out just watching!

 

[playmofire]

Awesome.

The girders look great Mike, very convincing. Glad that the printer has worked out so well for you

Thank you, having been in awe of others on here, and the Internet, and seeing what is happening, I thought I'd best have a go... The printer officially paid for its self today.
The last set of girders were printed out.. 1 roll (1kilo) of green filament, 1 £225. Printer and a 1.5Mt's long bridge
I've had my money worth IMHO.
Everything else is a bonus.

I am sure you have lots more ideas for the printer, jobs a good un.

 

[PhilP]

Crackin' job Mike!

i will be interested in how the self-colour (not protected by paint) printed components, stand-up to UV and the elements?

 

[mike]

I have used just under 2kilos (2rolls) of 1.75mm Filament, and 1 length of 20mm electrical conduit, from screwfix, I need to start on the retaining wall and the abutments next, but it's getting there

 

[Rhinochugger]

Nice, Mr D - some road realignment next although I bet the voices have already been there

 

[CharlieBear]

Like the triebwagon

Well, its been a while and so a update, having bought a lgb saxion meyer rather cheaply , I decided to use it as a bases for a mallet...this involved shorting the chassey, rotating the motor blocks and valve gear,180 % moving the piviot points , rebuilding the chassey and cutting back on some plows and other bits...the boiler was shortened by 1 inch and the cab altered , cab door moved, rear window added extra domes added, new handrails, pipe work.ect.. plates are on the way from a nice man in Germany,
As well as new locos arriving for grandson ,.

That is an amazing job, hard to see where the Saxon is on this. Certainly looking like a Mallet now, just the thing for the Harz Mountains.

As its too cold and damp for me , to be out.. more printing . I'm tempted by a gauge 1 coach...but for now, more boxes

 

[Rhinochugger]

Mmm How do you shovel boxes ?

 

[PhilP]

He's probably shovelling sh stuff into the boxes?

Certainly the printing process would be great for Wicker Baskets, a thing that you see quite a few of in old station pictures. Just needs a more rounded end and you have it sorted.
