More test printing with the D2
Here is a revised version of the fill basin, angled this time on the build plate which allowed the basin drain grate to show, improved plank grooves and a light press assembly without glue, allowing the spigot to swing on its base as originally designed. I never thought I’d be able to print this as intended!
A copy of my Athearn tender shell. I may even try to print the entire repowering kit.
Next is my original crossing watch box, with a swinging, snap in door, and a pot belly stove! The smokestack is printed loose and glued into a hole on the roof.
Next up I am testing mob printing of my A5 switch machines that can double as an electrical switch cap for manual switching that manages frog polarity.
Next up is a test printing of my Atlas Code 80 Custom Line magnetic switch throw. The three pack kit will come with 3 each of LH & RH A5 machines, throwbar magnet holder, and turnout tie magnet holder. It’s an old Shapeways design but can now be printed for Keystone Customs. The A5 switch machine snaps onto either end of the throwbar hole and can be used as the grip, however a finger between the points works perfectly.
I may also try to print my Atlas Code 55 magnetic version for potential sale which can actually carry the current to the frog.
To go along with all of the switch fodder, are three packs of decorative pneumatic control valve boxes.
I am really having fun printing again. Something I was not able to do with my Mono.
