3dp ends, interior, roof and underframe details with etched chassis and sides? Limited by the size of the available printers for the roof, although it might be feasable to do two halves. Suck it and see..

You are doing this in S aren't you?

Paul, Happy to help where I can with the 3d aspect of this project. Rob

Rule 1............

I know a lot of time and effort is being put into this but is it not nearing the time to move on and draw up some new artwork, hopefully with some modern style tabs and slots etc, to aid assembly?

Of course, you could always model in S Scale................

Paul, Glad the containers passed your QC controls. When I get a chance I'll post the printy specs for them in the 3d printing thread. Let me know when the CIE containers are ready to print. R

Could you post a screenshot of the supported file?

Could these be re-posted in the "Resources" section? It would make them much easier to find in the future.

John, 4mm vans print ok in resin, photo on the 3dp thread. Not yet tried printing with w irons etc Pm me if you want any. Rob

Been there, done that, still doing it......

I suggest that an empty beer can is best........... Paul, A nice little 3d CAD starter project for you?

Don't thicken it. Put a chamfer on the bottom of the inner tank (inside the tank) so there isn't a sudden change in CSA.

A quick squirt of primer. There is a crease in both sides where the cross sectional area changes at the start of the tank inner. Printing at an angle should sort that but may introduce other issues. The rivets are superb. Thank you Maitland

Just drippng...
