Garden Railway : Märklin-like coupler for LGB cars

thingiverse

I wanted to link Märklin Gauge 1 cars with LGB cars. So I designed a compatible coupler to fit on a LGB body mount. The design is streamlined but the coupler can rotate and be lifted like in the original design. Print Settings Printer: Vertex K8400 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1 or 0.2 mm Infill: 50% Notes: The coupler needs support, so I created two files - one with supports and one without. You can choose the one that suits you best. I've printed everything with ABS. Post-Printing To assemble the coupler, a spring is required. The diameter of the spring is crucial; it must be exactly 5.8 mm or it won't function correctly. A spring with a length of 13 mm (less critical) and two 2x8 mm screws are also needed to keep the cover securely in place.
