Just thought you may be interested, some houses at £3 each that judging by the photos pass as 16mm.
I'd call in myself but it's about 20 miles to my nearest store.

Poundland selling fairy houses
Just seen a post on the 16mm facebook page about the above.
I know some people may be interested but don't partake in the facebook shenanigans (yes Rod this is for you!).

Re: Binnie Tub Body
Rod - I've just noticed that the powder wagon sits quite nicely on a plain Binnie Chassis. Just leave off the pivots and glue in place.
Not what it was designed to do, but with Binnie bolster chassis at 2 for £10 they're simply not worth printing.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
As Simon says, the pivots glue on the ends using the raised ridge as a positioning guide. The strips should have stayed attached to the tub, but aren't essential, they just added a bit of riveting detail. The tub then hangs in the supports in place of the 'V' body, so not directly on the plain Binni...

If you ran the wire in a tube you could site the solenoid/servo pretty much anywhere.

Re: Print results
I've been using hairspray with a glass bed since I started (it was how the printer came and I've never changed).
Every so often, when it builds up and becomes noticeable on the print, I clean the whole plate with a razor scraper and Iso-propyl, then start building up again.

Re: IP Engineering Rail Bus
For general public use I wouldn't buy certificates with expirations greater than 2 years.
A lot of services consider a cert more than 2 years old to be untrusted.

Diamond leaded lights, very posh!
Now that's something that would 3D print nicely. Must look for a suitable local prototype.

Very nice.
I know we have some people on the forum who are very vocal in their dislike of background music on videos, however I thought your choice complemented the visuals superbly.

Easiest way to look for things on ThingiVerse is to actually use google's search with a site clause:

Re: A new cheapo printer
From what you've described the bed levelling on the Select is completely different from the bed levelling on the Delta. On the Delta the bed is fixed and the hot end 'Probes' it's position in various places, the correction then all takes place in the software. This means the process takes place befo...

Re: A new cheapo printer
Sorry to hear about your experience, I have the MonoPrice mini Delta, and I have to say it has been flawless. It's not that quiet, but I can stand to be working in the same room while it's running. It's also very portable, even having a carry handle on the top! I suppose you've given up now, but I f...

Re: Lyn >> Schull & Skibbereen Erin(ish)
I think a lot of the appeal to me is using a limited toolset in ever more creative and imaginative ways.
Hence my comment about Rik's riveting, seeing the result and having to work backwards to determine a method.

Re: Using TinkerCAD to produce drawings for 3-D Printing
Not only can you import STL files into TinkerCad, but also SVG files. SVG files are Scaleable Vector Graphic files, 2 dimensional drawings (but not bitmaps). There are various free tools available to produce drawings in this format the easiest I've found is a web based product - https://boxy-svg.com...

Re: Lyn >> Schull & Skibbereen Erin(ish)
I'm impressed, even more so to have produced that level of detail in tinkercad. I've worked out how you've done the rivets (duplicate tool combined with a rotation and duplicate again, do an opposite pair so they rotate about the centrepoint). However I am intrigued by the flare at the bottom of the...

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
Looks like that would make a rather interesting prototype.
Not sure how successful it will be with the cylinders outside the frames and the drivers inside, I don't think the marketing department spoke to the technical department when creating the artwork.

Re: Using TinkerCAD to produce drawings for 3-D Printing
Another "tip" is to save components as your own shape, and build your own library of commonly used objects like bolt heads, lengths of strapping etc.
You'll find it under the shapes menu at the bottom, and is pretty intuitive to use.
