Yeah I'm using Sketchup. The only thing I can use a .STL file for is to print.

Looks like it's plenty doable?

Regardless I can make them available in obj as well?

I can open the file. It is a million triangles. I can't do anything with that. I'll just stick to what I'm capable with.

I didn't like these big blocks under the Mabry Mill

So I swapped them out for laser etched wood.


The base of the Blair Line feed store was fine, but I didn't like how the side dock didn't match. So I made a new one:


I shortened the building a little to fit the small space. original door:

Also now that I look a the pics. Those laser cut etch lines look swiggly. I think that has something to do with focusing the mirrors on the laser?  I'll leave them.

Man, Chris, how long until you can actually 3-D print the entire layout?

This is amazing in every way.

Finally a reason to hold a phone like this?



I built up the front "parking lot" up about 1/16" and smoothed everything with Sculptamold. On the left is the fan blowing.

It would take a lot of manual cleanup, but here's a monochrome bitmap file to start with.  I've edited worse.

If you need a gearhead motor for the waterwheel, I believe I have one to spare...
