    You may recal further up the thread my making a stove for the brake van using my Silhouette cutter. Although I prove it was possible it was extremely fiddly to assemble and I certainly wouldn't want to be doing a lot of them. It's also a perfect candidate for 3D printing so yesterday morning after amending the brake standard files I started to draw up the stove. It has proved to be my most ambitious and ultimately satisfying design project to date.

    My apologies for the image overload but I am delighted at how well it has turned out.

    Having drawn the stove it was a fairly simple job to draw up the ash pan LNER Brake Van Stove base .JPG

    I may now go and lay down in a darkened room....

    If anyone is going to have a go at printing the stove and pan as well as the brake standards, put my name down for a few!
    They look brilliant Rob, well done!

    Cheers, Pete.

    Rob, I’m back home Wednesday so can have a look at the new files if you wish? And I’ll send them all through as one?

    No offence if you have also asked/tasked anyone else.

    Out of interest, how thin is the ash pan and the chimney flu? One thing to watch in resin is the minimum thickness.
    It can cause it to break on printing.

    This was the result of Robs first drawings… as the printer and fellow designer, I have to say top marks.

    sadly, I had some failures, some missed the bolt in the middle and others broke the stub handle off the wheel post printing due to its size and design being minimal in resin in 7mm scale.

    but we did get at least one success!! As pictured above.

    Hi Andy,
    The chimney flue is quite thick but the ash pan is a scale 1/2"

    If you are happy to have another go I will send you the files.
