dobermann posted:Before you jump into this you might want to look at some design software and some websites like Thingaverse for stl. printing files I've spent hours searching for O gauge/scale items to print. There's very little availble. I bought the printer and then started looking for things to print. That's probably backwards since you might want to look at what files are available for free or low cost. I'm sure a lot of people here breeze right thru the learning process with CAD and 3D software but I'm not one of them. I'm struggling with trying to learn to use supposedly simple software like Tinkercad. I've got my 12 year old granddaughter learning some desigh software so maybe she can show me how to use it.
I've found more free things to print for the slot car setup than the RR layout. Maybe if there was a topic here where Stl.files were posted it would be a worthwile investment for those of us who struggle with the software learning process. For me so far it's been just another toy and I probably should have stuck with Shapeways already made stuff.

Yes I hear you. I have used Thingiverse to find STL files for various projects, but I have found very little for O scale railroad items.
