Hi,

New to model trains and 3D printing as of December. learning both but stuck at the moment.

Signed up for the forum and find this site to be awesome. A few questions



Halot One Plus Resin 3d printer

I downloaded the elevated track support by CO Allen .stl files. I went to bring the file into the Halot slicer and start my first print and try out the elevated supports for my layout but when I bring the files into the slicer it shows that they are quite small. Does anyone have advice on checking the scale so it fits with your layout? Also are the 3d files all the correct scale straight in the file or do I need to adjust them?



Thanks,

Colton

Excellent! Yes, I have the scaling going. I found the conversion from really life size to o scale. So something like the pallets were easy to figure out but the elevated track support I’ll have to see what size works best and try to confirm those specs. With 4 pieces in the file I’m assuming they are all the same “scale” in the starting file?

Not sure what printer you are using, but I find that the free version of Chitubox works pretty nicely and can be set up for many resin printers.  Has a feature that will hollow out a large solid object, you can 'drill' holes for the resin to drain out, and you can add internal cross bracing if you want. Saves a lot of resin.

You can also rescale the whole object easily (using HO models and printing in O for example) or even changing one dimension while keeping the others the same (like shrinking a boiler)
