OO/HO FLEXITRACK CURVE FORMER

thingiverse

Laying Flexible track is a must for anyone looking to make their job easier, resulting in smooth curves that look great. This set-up differs from others I've uploaded, featuring a base plate with three stirrups attached to it. If you're good at math, you can calculate the radius of the curve using the chord's length of 200mm and how much you offset the center stirrup. Once locked in place, the set-up simply glides along the track, giving a smooth curve every time. I have two pairs of these. To get started, I've included a DXF file for those with access to a laser cutter, allowing them to cut out the plate from perspex or other materials. Alternatively, you can use the STL file to print one out. Post-Printing CLEANING STIRRUPS The stirrups that fit over the track have an M4 thread inside them, so they'll need a tap run through them. The slots will also require a needle file to be put through them.
