Wow, that's a bit of a shock. Looks nice though. :thumbright: Looking forward to the tutorial, I tried to make one using giphy, I got a trial clip and it works on my laptop, but it won't load onto the forum. Tried 'Add Files' and 'Link' but it just doesn't like it, must be doing something not right....

So there is no way I could print it with just filament then, that's such a shame, I think it's a brilliant build and extremely well designed.

Thanks you both. My MacBook Pro has SSD Drew and yes when I first got it, it was really really fast, but now it kind of works fine sometimes then it just gets ridiculously slow. I have Mackeeper for which has helped but it still gets overworked and it seems that my photos and videos are slowing it d...

This is kind of an Off Topic. I would like to know if I removed my photos off my MacBook, (I have over 12000 photos and 500 videos) would removing them also remove them off the forum. My MacBook is really old now, Vintage apparently, :lol :lol and is getting slow because they are taking up a lot of ...

Well I bit the bullet and downloaded Fusion.....it looks so powerful and for me far too difficult to get to grips with. Has many members know I can't spend to long at my laptop anymore and if I did Anne wouldn't be best pleased, so it is Tinkercad for me I'am afraid, I know it has it's limitations ...

Thanks Rik,

Just had a quick look...Whats wrong with his voice though, it sounds like he has a peg on his nose..

+2 also.

The biggest bits are the two side frames, which are 150mm long, I don't know if they will fit on your printer bed, I know you've had size problems before? Will they fit diagonally? Rik PS I think you mean PLA filament. Sorry to be pedantic. :roll: Your correct Rik....PLA.. :lol :lol And it all depe...

It would be a shame to remove the circular pond, it makes for a better feature and also a small waterfall. If you could use even just 6" of that unused space with the rubble, you would still then be able to use the larger stock and for me it would be look more aesthetically better and also make...

Would I be able to print that on my printer using PVA or similar. I have only actually printed with PVA though. It's just that you hear some stories about how difficult ABS and other filament can be. I have had some rubbish PVA though and it's been really terrible to use. I am no where near ready to...

Nice looking steamer that Mitch.

Looks like things are progressing well Drew. Would it not be possible to run you track on the other side of the right hand fence, you could have a nice curve then for larger stock.

I think I would be asking the "Boss" if it was possible...

Looking at this thread again, it seems we have gone of track somewhat here and I am the first to admit I asked Rik a question before he had time to add anymore about "Using Tinkercad to produce drawing for 3-D Printing" So can I ask Rik would you please kindly add some instructions for tho...

All beyond me this...

Great thread and 's though..

Just been looking at your thread Philip and I have to say you are getting more and more professional at this stuff. The loco you are doing is looking just like the real thing and for you to do that with out very little in the way of dimensions is just exceptional and mind blowing with your human mov...

I bought it off EBay Rik and I have had it for about 2+ years, so I can’t remember what it was to start with. All well I might just have to try and look for something with the same diameter of axle and take it from there I think

Hi guys, Can anyone tell me where I can buy this please or something similar. Shaft diameter is 4.71, haven’t a clue how many teeth, the diameter of the gear is 12.86. Thanks to you all :thumbright: [/quote] Forgot to add the photo :scratch: IMG_0446.jpeg Doing this on my iPhone for the first time. ...

Thanks to you all

You've done a cracking job on what sounds like a fairly duff kit, Rod. Thank you Philip, to be completely honest it is a bit duff. I did find a old Garden Railway magazine March 2023 and inside is a write up by Mark Thatcher, who many know is a regular contributor, I think he writes for the magazin...
