Those prints are superb. How did you orientate to cab interior to print it?

Excellent! Looking forward to running round there.

I had thought it might be a bit of a squeeze behind the veg, but I can see the space you’re making turning the bank into a wall is substantial. Does look really great. (As do the leeks by the way!)

No direct experience, but as Philip says there are some previous experiences recorded on here you can compare yours to: 1 2 3

Attack of the giant Marsh Fritillaries!

Fresh from all of these centre-cab discussions, I was having a little read of the latest SMT and on p44 there was... well, more of an off-centre cab loco, this Jung Motorloc at the Katwijk Narrow Gauge Museum.

I would fully expect the "AI" to give it an odd number of wheels

My HGLW loco - an LB1 - was Moel Rhos' first is still the most used. Same chassis. I do really like that steeple cab, have been sorely tempted many times. This is not that similar - not even narrow gauge - but it's one of my favourites: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Hellingly_R...

How long will the completed line be? And how long will it take to complete a single trip? Depends how fast you go of course, but back in May it took me 13 minutes to get to just this side of the steps in Trevor's photos... I was wondering if there was an equivalent to acetone for PLA so looked it u...

It's single cylinder isn't it? So starting it (normally) requires the 'hand of god' in the form of spinning the flywheel. Certainly that's how it is with my single cylinder Regner Konrad, which I've fitted R/C to anyway - it's useful being able to control the speed and stop it remotely, and most imp...

Magnificent. Somehow, just absolutely 'right', like that's the only way a 3'6" gauge blue BR Garratt could possibly look.

Thanks team for all your hard work keeping the forum on the rails!

Absolutely wonderful. Bags of character. I love it.

I was going to put the sheep wagon into the files section so everyone can use the files. So if you were to try it with the support settings I set out in an earlier post, and at the same sort of angle I have used it will be interesting to see how it comes out. We can compare parameters in detail off...

I have to confess the finish is amazing. It makes me think that I should try bigger stuff in my Whale 2 and see what happens, but to be fair, I don't have the faith in it that I have on my AnyCubic printers, which mine are smaller ones. :dontknow: Oh dear. I should have bought an AnyCubic rather th...

This one's either insanely easy or unnecessarily opaque and I can't tell which, but in the interest of fairness I'll gladly accept either of her names. 'Insanely easy' is giving me the (almost certainly misplaced) confidence to suggest that the lettering "A-4" could imply that it's... an ...

I remember that! I considered getting a magnetic plate for mine. I didn't. Obviously a mistake! Although I have got better at prising the prints off since then - at the time I was having to use so much force they were snapping or flying off into forgotten corners of the shed...

I believe this iteration of Jessie was released a couple of years ago, and indeed I was tempted but managed to resist. Now if he were to re-release Jessica, my resolve might not be so strong...

the build volume of this resin printer is bigger than that of my filament printer. Same here. I have been, just for comparison, printing the parts from Rik's GVT wagon on both printers. On the filament printer I need to cut the wagon side and then reassemble, and it's a visible part. With resin, no...

Really useful thread. I must post about all the problems I am having with resin printing, and I would not have even attempted your chassis orientation for fear that supports would be insufficient to pull that much surface area off the FEP. So it's really good to know that's possible. I am curious wh...

Welcome back Rod, take it easy. I look forward to seeing the build as and when, meanwhile, take it slow and dip in here when you can.
