Hi folks.
I model 2 eras in 2 scales; pre-grouping Midland in 2mm, and never have trouble getting basically whatever I need for this.
Between-the-wars US steam (PRR mostly) in P:48. I have to scratchbuild virtually everything for this, due to cost (Importing from the US to Holland is *insane*) or simply lack of availability.
I *do* own a 3d printer. I havent used it much because I am kind of a luddite, but it was a gift and I'd like to.
Is it practical to 3d print my truck sideframes, if I install brass bearing races into them before I assemble them? Drawing them would be a pain, but once drawn I could hypothetically just print till my face turns blue, right? I can use Kadee P48 wheelsets easy enough.
What do?
Amanda
