Don't think I could attempt to be cutting any holes in mine though mate. Anne would be so upset and I don't like doing that for fear of reprisals...

Wouldn't be a bad shout, PLA is much more forgiving for roof's, not sure I could print an ABS roofTrevor Thompson wrote: βThu Jan 21, 2021 7:35 pm I think that the issue is printing in ABS. It is a very unforgiving material to print with. I have had problems doing roofs as well. Probably I should use one of my spare nozzles and get PLA for printing roofs and the like.

Honestly, an upright roof comes out well. If in any doubt you can add a 1mm or 2mm wide support each side that just touches the roof, careful though, if the touching point is too small, it will just build separate structures, ask me how I know, lol.ge_rik wrote: βFri Jan 29, 2021 1:41 pm Coming along nicely, Trevor.
I must try printing a roof, Steve, I've fought shy of it up until now.![]()
Just had to replace the nozzle on my cheapo printer - my first major clog. Decided it was to gummed up to manage to clean it up properly. I suppose, after nearly a year, that's not bad.

I haven't had to replace a nozzle since I started using ABS exclusively.
Yes the tender was printed as 3 sides, a curved top, a base upside down on the bed, and two axle box sets. Tha axle boxes are joined by a stretcher so there is one print per side. I did think about making the springs work - but maybe next time!
Beyond me I'm afraid but it certainly looks most impressive and I'm full of envy.Trevor Thompson wrote: βFri Feb 05, 2021 6:12 pm " Free hobing " the worm wheel using an M8 spiral flute tap:
