I finished the Mi-Jack model today. A lot of work for such a tiny thing but it really adds realism to the intermodel area. I'm putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all, I think, that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. |

Here in Nashville, Tennessee we also have a restoration of a steam locomotive going on. Old #576 sat in Centennial park for many years. It was one of the last and heaviest of the steam era. She weighs more than 600,000 pounds. She was moved to the Tennessee railroad museum to be restored to operating condition. [img] |

Good work HAL. ;-) Now I am. :-) I got a Creality Ender 3 Pro a few weeks ago. I have found it does quite a few models pretty good as-is with the standard 0.4mm nozzle. However, I ordered some 0.2mm nozzles to really push it. Will soon see how fine a detail it can do. Here's some residential propane tanks I tried and they came out fantastic using PLA filament. Other models larger than that are a piece of cake. I'm putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all, I think, that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. |

Have I created a monster? LOL :-D Those great look HAL, with some very delicate paint work and/or some stickers they'd look like just the real things. Cheers. |

Looking forward to seeing what the .2mm nozzles can produce. Grant Darwin NT |
HAL Send message Joined: 18 May 99 Posts: 535 Credit: 8,246,955 RAC: 3 |
Here's some items done with the 0.2mm nozzle / gray PLA. Some empty and stocked shelves and 55 gallon barrels. The prints shown are raw and have not been cleaned or sanded. I'm quite pleased with the results. We're down to the level where at least I need to use a magnifying glass to see the details. So basically we have arrived - 3D printing is very usable for creating your own models for n scale model railroads. I'm putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all, I think, that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. |

The prints shown are raw and have not been cleaned or sanded. I'm quite pleased with the results. I can see why. With that quality of finish at that scale, it will save a lot of time cleaning & finishing them off ready for painting. Grant Darwin NT |
