Today's fun. Second prototype. Blooming delighted that it fits between the two sidings, as I did the sidings before I knew the dimensions of the silo!
And I'm just printing off something that, in theory, would allow the couplings to swivel and keep the wagons on the track.
I'm so pleased that this 3D printer is making it easier to dump stuff straight out without for instance, having to wander around the supermarket with a vernier caliper looking for a shampoo bottle of the correct diameter.
I thought I would be fed up modelling in CAD the whole time, but I'm enjoying it, and the practical challenges of transferring the CAD design into something that prints reliably and robustly are just challenging enough to be really satisfying.
There's a lot of orthodoxy in this hobby as well, so it's nice to be able to explore something without fifty years of the dead hand of "but we always do it this way".
