With the pads that Mario prints, each car is now a 5 minute job. You convert 1 type of car at a time or as you buy them. You can do a dozen cars in an hours time with those spacer pads
Thanks, guys...
I've got good news and great news...
First the good news; not only are the steel reefer spacers finished, but I now have prototype runs of the ones for the PS-1 & Round Top Boxcars, and the Atlas steel reefers as well... I hope to have them test fit and install video done tonight.
Here's the great news; I've had the design changed so that I can print them in bulk, instead of pairs. This DFM (design for manufacturing) improvement is allowing me to save over 50% of the time that it took to print the same amount in pairs. So this means cost savings to the consumer.
I'm aiming for $3.50-$4.50 per car, depending on bulk packaging! That's about the same price as the couplers.
Keep an eye out for more install video posts...
Thanks,
Mario
