NSR 4 wheel coach.

It does indeed. just need to acquire some and a set of appropriate wheels.. probably from the Derbyshire area of Rowsley (formerly Matlock Bath) <wink>

 

I can see what you mean, but that would mean having to remove the seats from within. (Although they could be sat on the floor?)

anyway, as it’s happened, it’s now quite strong on the V2 and actually remained flat!

all I need now is to redo the body and get a nice crisp edge to the bottom.

 

Erm.. you tell me? As yet, I’ve not found what wheels they should be on!

 

I’m just checking that now..
just had to redraw another part as looks like some of them didn’t slice properly as were hollow inside.
What’s odd is that I can look at the coach and that’s hollow all the way up, yet the top printed really well, so not totally convinced that is an issue when drawn in Sketchup. It may be that I’ve added a 123d block to it and then resaved it as an STL again, but again, I don’t see why that should cause an issue either?
I’ll send you the sliced file over to have a look at (I can send the whole coach if you want and you can have an NSR interloper up north!)

 

Oh, that's another function I have never learnt on Blender - horrible program !

 

Well I’ve done a second print of the body which came out much better, but still has fails around the doors. Now sure why as it’s the same thickness all round the bottom. It’s not as noticeable and I may just get away with it…

(and having now written this, I think the penny has dropped as to why and it’s nothing to do with a lack of support. - there is a very small instep under the door and I suspect the gap between the door and the bottom of the coach is very thin - too thin to print, so may need to look at an alternate inside infill.)


What I have found odd, and maybe Mossy or Paul or the other printers in here can see or say what is happening? This is the support material. Nicely and cleanly strips away in warm water leaving next to no marks..but what on earth has gone on? Why has it infilled between the supports and even the depression between the seats which should be open and no support material whatsoever?



Something very odd is going on..

I’ll take a look and alter my settings for future..

I think my machine is set at 80% for the exposure - I’ve never had any issue with stuff not coming off the bed plate. The metal spatulas always scrapes it off fairly easily..

 

And we’re in the paint shops! Well primer anyway




Need to do the reverse of the axle boxes

 

Not without a big modification to slice them out. but it then presents the later issue of expansion and contraction and having to file or fill a gap when they don’t fit when printed separate.
As it happens, there is a sizeable gap between the chassis and the body yet when printed, the body won’t go over the floor panel of the chassis.. need to file!

 

at the moment, I’ve simply gone with what Mark drew up, or duplicated his work.
I can’t see why the chassis timber doesn’t run the full length and has steps around the wheels? And they are not even parallel.
