3D Printing... Repository ...the Beginning

OK!  Less than a week in and we have 20+ .slt files in the Repository!

Ray, really, really GREAT JOB!  Thank You!

Testing is basically done (it never really ends) so it's time for anyone who would like to contribute to the Repository to get some files up.  If you would like to contribute please let me know and I will set you up to do so.

Rock On!

Moving forward I have 2D lasercut prints. some are 3D engraved prints. Also combinations of 3D and 2D prints.

Last thought. Most of my designs are Custom. See below

This is a custom design for a building that has a specific floor-to-floor height.

How would anyone use it if their building was different?

Alan, great pieces! Just curious, how different are standards of stairs from escalators?

I realized I did not include my stl files. I'll attach them when I get back to the house.

Alan,  If you have interest in putting them in the Repository that would be GREAT!!  If not, that's cool too.  I'll add the folders for them... in a bit ... bit over, Done.

I use Architectural Graphics Standards as a guide for most of my designs. In there is a table with the variations of rise-to-run of escalator stairs based on height and angle of the stairway.

These are for my Track Vacuum Maintenance car; an idea that was first proposed by  LEE WILLIS, kudos to him. I am using the same MooSoo vacuum he did but in a laser-cut car of my own design that fits the shape of the MooSoo.

These are 3D prints of the lighted end inspection dome and the scoop attachment; the 4 smaller scoop looking things are for down lights.

Once I have the car completed I will share the .stl s

BobbyD, You can make stairs whatever run/rise you want.  These days when I build stairs... I make the rise low ...and, the run w-i-d-e and d-e-e-p (I fall less).

Dennis

your stair comments have offended every architect that has beloved Graphic Standards.

for shame!

LOL!!!  I'm still laughing Al~~~!~!~~~

Guys....I have moved this to the scenery and structures category (this is a temporary move) and have asked Dennis to give me a call.  I think there is an opportunity here for OGR to make some kind of "home" for this new and upcoming way to enjoy the hobby.

Alan

What are you the publisher or something?

OK... Very nice conversation with Alan (the publisher) and some very good things will be happening with and about this thread going forward... and, fairly quickly.   I'll defer to Alan on making any announcements.  I'm sure the participants of this thread and others will be very pleased.

In the meantime... lets get some .STL(s) UP!!!!!

Rock On!

Alan, where the ^&Y5G*TF are the photos!

Just updated the Catalog... added 5 or 6 (maybe 7)?  .stl(s)  Download it....

I'm tired...

Dennis

At the beginning there will be a lot but it should slow down after a while.

Alan,  I had to do a bunch of physical labor from about 6 til noon... and, I was up @2:30am.  The catalog is easy... but, I suck at it.  Just because one can program does not mean one is good at formatting documents!

I hope that the files absolutely pour-in for the foreseeable future.  I did put up a 2D laser, a 3D Engraver and a 2D/3D Combo folder.  It will probably take 50-75 folders before I can get serious about the Directory Tree... I'm doing a little renaming as we go along.  Ray = HERCULES!@!

It certainly is a lot quieter over here in Scenery Land... Is that you behind that bush Alan?

Whoops!  Missed the Chimney .slt... it's in the catalog now...

Great project. Congratulations!

Two pieces of feedback:

1) I can see no way to browse the items short of downloading each model one at a time. The "image" icons don't work for me, and all the files show generic icons, not images of the item. I am on a Mac, and have tried three different browsers (Safari, Brave, and Chrome).

2) It would be nice to be able to tell how many models are in a given folder. I frequently drill down several levels only to discover an empty folder.

Not complaints at all, just constructive feedback.

Thanks for doing this!

Pete,   Download the *Catalog*... we'll bump into you soon... a lot to talk about here...
