PRR 2D5P2 Trucks
|
|
This truck came to me as an O Scale kit in 2015 to be assembled when
I was doing train work for others. I insanely measured it and reverse engineered
it with Solidworks in S Scale. I got 1 set made back then before the FORM1 printer
died. I procrastinated to get molds made as that would have been about $500.00
alone without any parts getting cast. I have wanted more ever since then and is at least half the reason I am back in 3D printing - to
make more of this truck. These photos are from
2015.
I feel sure they would last as printed in gray resin with moderate
use but I want to make them in brass for my PRSL P70. http://www.lanestrains.com/S_Scale_PRSL_P70_Coach.htm
These are trees left over from the FORM1. Not bad or so I thought back
then. The supports were difficult to remove.
In September 2024 spent some significant time making new trees,
printing them and confirming sizes before printing for lost wax brass casting. These
are Solidworks screen shots.
This is one of the first prints made on the Anycubic. The detail is
much better than the FORM1.
