Reproduction Shell Garage for Tyco Trucking US1

prusaprinters

<p>This is a reproduction of the Shell Garage from the Tyco US-1 sets. &nbsp;There are a few things to note when building this to get a quality result.<br><br>The track should be printed upside-down on a textured PEI sheet. &nbsp;Also, take care to get the height of the first layer dialed in before printing, or else you're likely to end up with the slots too narrow, which can be a real pain to clean up in post-production.<br><br>I printed everything using PETG, which works well. &nbsp;For the building pieces, you'll want to bend them immediately after printing, while they're still hot from the print bed.</p><p>The metal rail can be harvested from other Tyco track-- preferably old pieces that aren't otherwise salvageable. &nbsp;After removing the metal rail, you'll want to grind off the old numbs that held it into the old track with a file or rotary tool. &nbsp;I secure the rail in my builds by soldering on some globs of solder from the underside. &nbsp;However, I imagine there are some glues that would work well, too. &nbsp;Also, when inserting the rail, you'll want to be particular about the depth after you insert it. &nbsp;Try to roughly match the depth of existing Tyco track.&nbsp;</p><p>And lastly, I decided to post this design for free, but I would request that if you built it and like it that you post a pic of your build. &nbsp;Seeing people using and enjoying these models is a big component in motivating me to keep building and sharing. &nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks!</p>
