Steel and Plastic Drums

These drums are about 6 mm high.


Most are printed on pallets as I figure that is easier to handle them. The pallet on the right has four plastic drums on it; the rest are steel.

Elegoo Mini Heater

Image
 Around Easter I pre-ordered a mini-heater for my printer, in readiness for the winter. It arrived a couple of weeks ago, and today I fitted it, as the temperature in the garage was 13°C at 8 am this morning. The instructions are rather unclear, but there is a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7o60xKvTeM And it was actually very simple - though easier if you have a friend to hold it while you put the screws in. Here it is in place, and in action. My first heated run is going! ETA: The run, and and a subsequent one, went fine. The temperature - as it reports anyway - was between 25.0 and 26.0 every time I looked at it. Have to wait and see how it copes when the ambient temperature is sub-zero, but looking good! ETA: Now November, and getting cold. The temperature it reports is about 5 degrees less than my thermometer - not sure which is right, but I suspect not the heater! But does it matter? As long as it is consistent, that should be fine, and it is having n problem ge...

Introduction to the Blog

 My first post was back in February - before I had even purchased a 3d printer, and it is now November and I am writing the introduction... This blog is all about my experiences for 3d printing. It is a way for me to share what I learn along the way, and to show off what I have created. Most pages are tagged Model and are about a specific model, and the prototype it is based on. Generally I try to visit the prototype, and include a couple of photos of that for comparison. I also try to learn the history of the building, which is not always easy, and record that on the page too. A lot are buildings in and around Preston, as that is where I live. Models are further divided into Building , Railway (i.e., railway-related buildings), Feature (bridges, tunnel portals, etc.), Rolling Stock , Vehicle and Clutter (smaller items) In addition, there are pages tagged How to and Prototype . If you want to know how to use Blender to make 3d models, there is an article I wrote on another s...

A Modular Viaduct (part 2)

Image
I am doing a demo at the local N Gauge Society members day on Sunday, and will be assembling my viaduct to display it. To get it ready, I have been busy painting the last two days, so more photos. I painted iron arch bridge with bright colours, and it turned out well, I think, though my painting skills are not great. The plate girder bridge I did in plain grey. Similarly the lattice bridge. I am  not so happy with his one; the proportions seem out somehow. An extended brick arch. And some filled in arches, with businesses. Again, very pleased with how these turned out.
