O Scale Sawing Machine

thingiverse

An O scale industrial sawing machine patterned after the W.F. Wells sawing machine, model W-9-1. Essentially a large, horizontal band saw for cutting metal. This is my very first attempt at modeling something ever. I tried to capture the major details, including the guide bars, the chip pan, and control panel. Print Settings Printer: M3D Micro Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 300 microns Infill: Medium Notes: I tested printing a few of these and support is definitely needed. Post-Printing The Result As can be seen, I think I was successful. Mine will require a bit of file work to smooth things out, but overall I like the result. I'd very much like to see if anyone else prints this, or can suggest any fixes to improve it in any way. Cheers! Freshly printed. Rough cleaning - front. Back. How I Designed This I used Google Sketchup to create this model using pictures as reference.
