Small N Scale Passenger Shelter....

This building (one that was similar) was posted by Hardcoaler on TrainBoard. I spent a few hours with Fusion and came up with this N scale model of a passenger shelter.

I printed parts separate and whole above to see what might be best with the Bambu A1 printer. Whole seemed to work even though it was a little bit of a job to remove the supports up inside the shelter.

I beefed the deck up a little after this print and haven't made another one yet.

You can find the print files for this buildings on my thingiverse account ( HERE )

You can find a couple hundred other items that you can print on my website ( HERE )

A few days ago I scaled this down to N and did a print:

Very similar....

 

.... since it is PRR I'll bet it was modeled off the same drawing that i used that was posted on TrainBoard by Hardcoaler above.

My drawings were in a book on the 3' gauge Waynesburg & Washington, but it was later owned by the PRR.

I Added the option to print the building with outside bracing.

This looks great Sumner!  I'll have to reconsider my opinion of what a filament printer can do.  I'm using a 4 yr old Prusa MK3S+ which meets my needs otherwise, but I'm never happy with small detail resolution.

The A1 is a really nice printer and I've been really happy with it.  Still won't do what my resin printer ....




https://1fatgmc.com/RailRoad/SawMill/Sawmill-Index.html

... can do but I've used the Ender before the A1 and now the A1 for most of the buildings on the layout and have been very happy with the results.  Sawmill buildings were printed with the resin printer though.

I also designed a 3 course shingle roof as a test and printed it on the filament and resin printer.  I'll try and get the results up by tomorrow.
