1/8th Scale End of Train Device (EOT or FRED)

thingiverse

This is an End of Train Device (EOT) or sometimes simply known as a Flashing Rear End Device FRED. It's designed for users to easily integrate their own electronics into the device. The EOT is also specifically designed to fit snugly within a closed coupler and stand upright, allowing the flashing to be clearly visible from behind. There are two files included in this design: an obj file featuring the complete unit with its lid removed, and an stl file showing the front section sliced off. To make printing easier and avoid complicated support structures, I recommend using the stl file instead of the obj file. Feel free to customize this design by adding switches for on/off functionality or any other modifications you may desire. If users come up with alternative designs, please share them, as they might also be interested in printing these devices for personal use.
