ive ordered a 0.2mm nozzle which should actually increase resolute detail even further but the print times will double and this little guy took 3 hours as it is! 
 

still not too bad once your patient. 

 

That looks good - I'm looking forward to see how the 0.2mm nozzle performs

[Sean]

certainly in this case it has been beneficial to begin with the loop of set track.

this system is a little unorthodox in that there’s a magnet on the bottom of the loco and the black strip is steel that is used to pull the loco onto the track for adhesion!

 

my own track will have somthing similar hidden in the scenery however it was certainly mind boggling trying to see how it worked without actually having some on hand to play with!

 

the loco is running in and I am assembling 4 wagons on the Busch kits. This way I can get a feel for how the couplings work before I try to add them to my prints! 

[Sean]

 

And a little while later we can finally add some wagons

 

pretty happy with the curves too despite how narrow they may be

Spent far too many hours altering this last night to suit the chassis, glad with the overall fit though and it should be easier the next time i need to do such a thing!

 

This is printed with the 0.2 and otherwise default settings, took about an hour so not much longer than the 0.4 settings I had been using.

 

the most obvious thing is with the roof and the top of the radiator, the stepping on those curved layers iis much less noticable now

 

another print was done on finer settings which took around 5 hours, but honestly I did not see much if any improvement to that except for a smoother roof and the radiators didnt work on that either.

 

very happy with this overall, the front grille looks great and the one to the side of the radiators is not reproducing all that ell yet.

Very nice indeed Sean! The 4mm stock in the background behind it gives some idea of how small this little loco really is!
