Here is a guy I follow, this is an old video of his first attempts in home metal 3D printing. It is rocket engine stuff, but I reckon there isn't many guys doing this for model train building! Eoin.

The October Fair Date;-

@jhb171achill is this what you are referencing? ;-

Not to hijack this thread on KMCE's stuff, I have moved the discussion to here;- https://irishrailwaymodeller.com/topic/20166-2026-kmces-files/ Eoin

I have Ken's files, he gave me all his stuff;- research, drawings, print & etch files the week before he passed with the plan that I or someone would carry on his work. Unfortunately his family put restrictions on their use and I have not resolved the issue yet due to my own family & friends deaths over the last two years, It's just a nightmare! I'm currently building two of his test etch kits for his wife, he was working on 4 kits in his last days. When I have these finished I hope to sit down with her and resolve the issues. We also want to put up his research archive for open access but there is a huge amount of potential copyright issues with this- as all the folders are full of downloaded images from the internet! Eoin.

Generally one would use the thinners for the type of paint your using to clean the gun. The best all round thinners for cleaning is cellulose based or 'universal thinners'. Cellulose thinners will remove most paints, even hardened paint. Do not use sonic cleaners as some may advise- they rattle the gun body and the forged needles apart!! Eoin

There are loads of photos on a Google search. Tailte Eireann has the historic 6'' OS map but unfortunately the station straddles two maps and one was not updated with the station plan. Eoin.

The September Fair Date;-

You should see the full thing down in the Canneries! Eoin.

If you noticed the sun dimming over the last 10mins, it's an eclipse right now... (Dont try to look at it unless you have the right filter for doing so, danger) Eoin

I see burning on the chassis frames where soldered! Is the brass coated with something? I heard that the brass can be coated for gluing if this is a magazine Kit..... Could be wrong Eoin

Radionics is an absolute rip here in Ireland, I source electronic stuff from Europe in places like https://www.tme.eu/ie/en/ an order from this place arrives here quicker than an online order from Radionics and at half the price, sometimes even less...... Eoin
