Desktop 3D printers
Here is the latest version of my 40' foot boxcar in jpg format getting closer to a printable model. Just need some minor details added and a roof designed.

This structure is based on an early Gulf Oil filling station. The basic structure was printed on an Afinia home printer, and the windows and doors were done at shapeways.com.

that sound you just heard was DPM and Walthers cringing as their business models become very shaky
When I hear the iron horse make the hills echo with his snort like thunder, shaking the earth with his feet, and breathing fire and smoke from his nostrils, it seems as if the earth had got a race now worthy to inhabit it.

Every day a new and improved desktop 3D printer is placed on the market.

nvrr49 is a very talented 3D designer and printer Thumbsup :ugeek:

I like my Maker bot replicator2 printer but it is so slow when printing large items.

Well, I have to wait until they approach inkjet prices...which should be possible in, oh, a decade.

Based on the Cassville and Exeter depot at Cassville, MO. This was a 17 hour print on my Afinia for the basic structure. To see design details, click on this link:

Nice depot,

HP is set to enter the 3D printer business, that should be interesting development.

I bought an M3D Printer as part of their Kickstarter, and have done some initial prints. I have posted many pictures and some analysis on my blog at, http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2015/09/m3d-p...rints.html. Here is a comparison picture to my Afinia printer, the black barrel.

I have been wanting to get a TAZ5 with dual extrusion heads, but will wait a bit till I get a better handle on 3D drawing I have learned a lot and have a 4th Version of a box car in S scale almost ready to print, just need a chassis and roof which will be somewhat easy for me to do now, especially being I have a better understanding of google sketchup tools now. Once I get a good print of box car I will try to do a troop sleeper and kitchen car.

Here is a pic of the now quite 3D printer station just waiting for those long winter days and nights to be cranked up again.

The shelves in this piano store diorama were 3d printed on the M3D printer. The pianos were printed at Shapeways. More pictures and design details can be viewed at http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2015/09/piano...ed-at.html
