Hi Paul, Yes there are footboards to add and looking at the sketch no they wouldn't cover up it mistake. I haven't progressed that far as I am still angry with myself over the cockup and seriously thinking about a reprint with the various improvements I have been plotting.
How about trying the solvent that can be used to separate fingers from super glue - acetone / nail varnish remover from a quick tinternet search to see if the parts will separate.
It's ben a while but the noisy one is back. First up Paul asked the question does Acetone unglue superglue. Well to cut a long story short NO, lots of test with different thicknesses of resin and different amounts of super glue, pretty much all failed. The only success was a minimal application of s/glue applied on the edges of resin that worked. So yes I destroyed the Bouch van and printed off new parts. for a new assembly, well success: but when you turn it around oh botty when did that happen! So another reprint needed but at least I know everything fits properly now, such is life. I have also been fiddling with another project I have hand in mind for a while, so a test for Rob P. What's this the chassis of?
Above print, are you adopting the chinese quality control method, don't worry about getting it right, just print an extra copy. Or a 6 wheel brake chassis.
Well it looks like a 6 wheel chassis and there's one that at least 2 years ago Rob said it would be his first Fusion wagon so I deferred. Years later and he is still playing with that Princess (this was going to be his next project) but since he has declared a love of Electric Engines for that NER Electric I felt I could make a start on it. Rob.
Superglue 'Debonder' is available cheaply from the likes of Toolstation and Screwfix, Mossy. (£2.59 for a 20Ml bottle at Toolstation) Keith.
Why not just try it on some scrap parts, glue them together then try and part them with whichever 'debonder' you try, at least you know whether using it on your brake van will be safe. My eyesight isn't that good these days but I can still create items which annoy me being just slightly out of line. Jim
Jim when I tested the acetone I created about 10 different parts, of different thicknesses and used variable amounts of glue to fix them together. I can easily repeat those tests on the debonder.
