Buffer stop for Hornby 00 tracks

thingiverse

You will need to remove the crimped fishplate on the rail before fitting. I removed the crimped fishplate on the rail before adding a guide tab which slots into the slot between the second and third sleepers, and added some blocks either side of the rail for aesthetic reasons. I also added a support block and screw hole at the rear of the buffer stop so it can be screwed onto the layout board securely. Just print 'Buffer stop for Hornby 00 tracks.stl' if you want to make one quickly. I printed the model at 10% gyroid infill with the model sitting flat on the bed (like how it would sit on the train layout board) using normal Cura support settings (not tree supports). The supports were easy enough to remove with Hemostatic Forceps, and needle-nosed pliers should work well also. You can print it on its side if you want to, but I recommend selecting the setting Support Placement = Everywhere. If you want to alter it, I have provided the STLs I used in Meshmixer to remove the screw part of the model from the body: Part - Buffer Stop Body.stl and Part - Screw Tool.stl. And finally, if you want to change the sizes of the blocks or anything else, here is the Fusion 360 archive: Buffer Stop.f3d.
