Russian Railroads Buffer Stop

prusaprinters

<p>The game Russian Railroads uses track pieces to indicate how far you've progressed along a path. While those are good, the end shouldn't be an empty piece of track, but a railroad "buffer stop" where rail cars are prevented from going further.</p> <p>This is a custom piece designed for FDM printers to simulate a buffer stop that can be used in the Russian Railroads game. It was designed to be printed on the short side so that you can use a filament swap near the top to make the ends print in a silver/metal color (see pictures).</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.3mm fast draft</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>5%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a> Basics PLA Various How I Designed This ===================</p> <p><strong>Tinkercad</strong></p> <div><p>I created a block from tinker cad and then removed the angle from the block, making the distinctive shape. Using "boards" I added the design detail. I made sure to chamfer the edges that might impact print quality (like for the round stops). I also added "rails" that lead to the end. These rails and the round stops are the parts that are printed in a different color, so I wanted to make sure this would print 90 degrees (up) from how it would lay on the table. </p></div> </p></p></p> Category: Games
