3D model description
HO Scale Concrete Factory
This is my first attempt at designing and printing anything substantial for my HO layout so here are some notes to share:
I used pictures from Google Images to “imagineer” this model.
I basically scaled it to fit the cement truck.
Some details were exaggerated so they could be printed.
Everything was printed on my single head extruder printer with PLA.
Many of the .stl’s are at a 45° angle to improve the lines on the details.
Many parts have locating tabs and holes to make it easy to assemble.
I used Medium and Thick CA to glue the pieces together.
I added Woodland Scenics Fine Ballast Gray Blend B1393 for gravel.
Lots of work, lots of fun!
3D printing settings
Printer Brand:
LulzBot
Printer:
TAZ 6
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
Standard
Infill:
Mostly 20% but 100% on handrails
Notes:
I used PLA and a brim on some of the small parts. Some parts can be printed together as a larger part, but it made it easier to paint as separate pieces.
How I Designed This
Sketchup 8
I used images from Google to imagineer the factory and scaled it to fit the cement truck.
