This section will be all about 3D. I presume that I will use this to talk about my 3D models in depth .. more or less .. with links to them in my store
HO Sewer/Drain Cover and Ring3D Stuff» HO Sewer/Drain Cover and Ring» Expectations I have these printing at Shapeways .. call it a 'proof' printing. These pieces are so small I am not 100% certain they will print as well as I want. That of course is the purpose of a proof printing .. so will just have to wait... O Scale Cinder Blocks3D Stuff» O Scale Cinder Blocks» Prints I printed these blocks using my Prusa i3 MK3. .4mm nozzle and .15mm layer height. It might be fun to try printing these using the .25mm nozzle I have and a lower layer height. To be honest, while the layering is visible in this photo it would be... Prusa i3 MK3 printer3D Stuff» Prusa i3 MK3 printer» The Printer from prusa3d.com - "The Original Prusa I3 MK3S is the successor of the award-winning Original Prusa i3 MK2 3D printer.

No details were spared, from its... EZ Lok Threaded InsertsFL-256-HI I purchased `00 of these for use with a 3D print. They are available in multiple sizes for both SAE and Metric. I went for the smallest I could find - some for 2-56 threads. EZ Lok FL-256-HI, 2-56 Straight Ultrasonic Insert, Flanged - Lot of 100 Since this was the first time I... 3.5 mm Mooring CleatsOverview I got a notice from Shapeways that ... "This is a friendly reminder that your model "Mooring Cleat - 3.5 mm - 320ea" from order "3617780" was taken out of production by one of our 3D printing engineers due to design issues." Honestly .. I was like .. "Whaaaa...." .. and had to look... O Scale Visible Gas PumpGilbert and Barker T-176 I found this 10-gallon Visible Gas Pump with some basic dimensions. I simplified these dimensions, rounding off. This gave me a starting point since I am not focused on an exact copy but something close. Think of a company copying a comptitor. With a drawing such as this I can simply... 12-30 ga Hole Test PrintConcept Resin prints shrink.
