@mattp.426 posted:Thanks, I saw in one of Norm Charbonneau's posts about 3D printed cams that the old ones can either be snipped off or melted off, unless the drive wheel can be unscrewed rather than pulled. I guess I'll just measure the axle diameter, then modify the file I found for the cam in the forum's 3D printing area. I assume this should also work with the K-Line scale Mikado as well.
The 3D printed cams can work in the Mikado as well, ….be advised, there is few different cam lift sizes. They are not all the same. Some of the ones Norm uses will never fit in the cam well of a Kline, ….the Kline doesn’t give a lot of room for error, it’s a pretty tight cam well,…….you can carefully slice through the base circle of the cam lobe in two places, and harvest the halves for measurements,…..Pete’s one piece cam is absolutely bulletproof, as it can never fail,……you have to think about the two piece cam before just slapping it in there,….the axle obviously has to be super clean, & scuffed to hold the cement well,……
