Binnie Tub Body
Binnie Tub Body
Well I have printed the Tub Body and it has turned out pretty good. I didn't need any supports or brim and the parts came off very easy. Only thing has I am not that well clued up on rolling stock and locos for that matter, how would I put these onto a Binnie chassis. The two strip's haven't got a clue what they are for and I presume the two blocks are for putting the Tub Body into.....
Anyway couple of photos, sorry about the fuzzy photos too.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
By the way I only have white filament, but I think it should hold paint pretty good...

Re: Binnie Tub Body
I haven't printed these, but I assume it's similar to the original Binnie V skips - they go on the ends of the tub with the 'scroll' bits upwards, semi-circular cutout away from the body to slot over rounded nub on the supports.
I've printed black, white, grey and brown so far, primed with Hycote primer and then painted you wouldn't know what colour the filament was underneath.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
That looks like it's printed very well, I would be happy with that

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 Binnie chassis.
I have a couple of rakes of tippers so just like to switch the bodies out for a bit of variety, for instance the powder wagon body can just be switched with a skip body in the middle of the train.
I might add a water tank, and a brake wagon to the range if there's any interest.

Thank you Simon.

Thanks Steve. I have slowed the speed down to 50 and layer height 0.10. Thats what I use for most of my prints now. It takes a bit longer, but they do seem to print better.
Thanks Boris... It's good to know that there are members who know more than I do, which isn't a lot for me....BorisSpencer wrote: βFri Apr 23, 2021 8:27 am As Simon says, the pivots glue on the ends using the raised ridge as a positioning guide.

I think the water tank and brake wagon would look good has a rake... I would print them.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
Ooh, yes, there's be interest from the Moel Rhos in a brake wagon. I started a very crude coffee-stirrer brake on a Binnie bolster chassis to run with my skips, well over a year ago, but seem to have lost motivation for completing it...BorisSpencer wrote: βFri Apr 23, 2021 8:27 am I might add a water tank, and a brake wagon to the range if there's any interest.
Water tank - maybe, I've already got one of the very nice Swift Sixteen teeny water tanks, but can a railway have too many? Water's useful stuff...

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 Β£10 they're simply not worth printing.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
Thanks Boris, I will look at that and see what it looks like.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
That's looking smart.. Did you share the file?
Re: Binnie Tub Body
I got this from Borispencer I think. My memory is rubbish. I know it was only last week. I can dig it out of my files and post it, but Phillip may well have to help with posting it. He did show me how to do it from Thingiverse, but doing it from my own files......I

Re: Binnie Tub Body
I must admit that I've got slightly lost here with who is asking who for what! However if it is the Tub body, then Boris has posted it in the 3D Print files section, I'm not sure what Thingiverse has to do with it? :FWLR wrote: βWed Apr 28, 2021 8:27 amI got this from Borispencer I think.

I said it was a file that Borispencer I got from him. The file I have is Borispencers, but I would need you to show me how to post it from my own copy in my files on my laptop.
But seeing has you have now said it is in the Β£d Print Files section, he/she should be able to get it from there.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
That was a thread I posted in.... oh well, getting forgetful too! Thanks
Re: Binnie Tub Body
Doesn't look too bad. On my printer a little support would have helped, the print isn't clean underneath the curves.
I'll attack it with a file, sandpaper and primer later.
I'm also seeing if I can reliably print a chassis for it. It's on the printer at the moment!

Re: Binnie Tub Body
That does look great on the chassis. I can see that the two parts that came off my print does make it look like they should be there. Good job I kept them.....
Hope the chassis is also a success, then we have a lot of printing to do for a nice long train of them...

By the way I have slowed the speed down to 50 and layer height 0.10. I find that the slower speed and the fine layer height gives a better print, lot slower but worth it in the end I feel.

Re: Binnie Tub Body
I think I'm happy with it. I've posted it, but I feel I need one more print to be 100% happy. You have been warned
