monorail half track

prusaprinters

<p>A half-length track for the lego monorail system. It's in the same style like the quarter track I designed earlier.</p> <p>Works fine with only supports in the corners (for the elevated corner-parts and the studs).</p> <p>Safes a ton of printing time if you don't place supports under every hexagon.</p> <p>I use the grey BASF Innofil3D PLA by now, it has a pretty neat color and texture. It is more like the new light grey bricks than like the original color but it's the best match I could find by now. If you have material suggestions just leave a comment :).</p> <p>I just added a support-blocker template that yoou can use in Cura (or maybe anywhere else also) to block all but the corner supports.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Ultimaker</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Ultimaker 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.15mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20% ZigZag</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> BASF Innofil 3D PLA Grey</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Less infill might also work fine, I just use 20% by default.<br/> Also a higher layerheight will be fine, just don't do to high because of the studs on the side. <p>Supports should only be placed in the corners. You can use the blocker-template to make that easier.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>A bit postprocessing will be necessary since the side-studs won't be perfectly round.</p> <p>Also depending on your printer and filament the fits on the bottom can be quite "press fitting", be careful not to break anything.</p> </p></div></p></p></p> Category: Construction Toys
