A OO 1/76 scale model of the 2nd generation Docklands Light Rail train car.
I've uploaded both a complete shell for SLA printing, or a kit of parts to make flat on an FFF printer.
Original model imported and simplified from a model designed by JKM D and available from Sketchup Warehouse.
Printer:
CTC3D
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
0.2
Infill:
50%
Notes:
Above settings when printing flat. Make sure you include suitable supports if attempting to print the whole model in one go.
Rectilinear External (Surface) Fill will make the surfaces smoother and easier to sand.
Smooth the surfaces using light sanding and maybe a little filler.
To construct, stick the car end to one side, so that the roof line is level. Stick the floor, so that it sits around 4mm above the base of the car. Use the end cheeks as guides.
Stick on the 2nd side. Fill any small gaps, paint and glaze before fitting the roof. It should sit about 2mm below the sides.
