Slot Car Crash Wall and Fence

thingiverse

This is my interpretation of a crash barrier wall with an attached chain link style fence. The design was inspired by the Ninco fence product, but the end result has taken a significantly different turn. It's engineered to flex easily in either direction with the flat side against the track. The clips aren't part of the wall so that they can be printed on their side for added strength, as well as placed wherever works best, because sometimes a clip just isn't positioned correctly where you want to place the wall. This means the only thing you need to adjust for other track types is the clip itself. As such, the wall and fence can be printed as is for any track, and the only piece that needs to change from track to track is the clip. I'll work on adding different clips for various types of track in the near future. I've also uploaded a STEP file so it's easier to make any necessary changes or remixes of this design. Please note the license. The wall can be printed in whatever orientation suits you, but the clip should be printed in the orientation provided in the STL file. The fence should be printed flat with the chain link part set to zero top and bottom layers with a suitably "fence-like" infill pattern. I've included a 3MF file for PrusaSlicer so that you can see how it was done. Update 5/3/2020 - Clips have been added for Carrera, which feature a thinner edge to clip to than Scalextric. A variety of tracks and borders were measured, and these clips seem to work well on most of them.
