Train station benches

Alan, is the 5/8" the depth of one seat or of both seats?  Two and a half feet seems about right for the distance from the front edge to the center of the back.

Jan

you are correct the seats need to be wider. OOps

I cannot discuss purchase or sales in this thread. Please private message me.

thanks

Alan....it is apparent that you are not going into business producing 3D printed products so if you want to sell you can post in the F/S forum.

Alan

I am posting 3D prints that I make for myself. This model is specific to the CTA (Chicago Transit) platform I am building.

However, I cannot prevent other forum-ites posting a "want to purchase" on non-F/S forums.

As we have agreed and consistent with OGR Rules, I will continue to discourage sale or purchase questions on non-F/S forums. And refer them to doing a private message to me instead.

Finally, I have never tried to sell or offered to sell anything on a non-F/S forum.

Great looking benches Alan

Benches needed a bit more internal support. And I added pipe supports for lights.

the brass rod shown is 5/32" diameter; the light heads are similar to the CTA California Station I am modeling.

Sized for small LEDs, of course. The height is about 3.5 inches from the platform not shown. Several of these will line the platform.

Looking good Alan.  Are the goose necks hollow?  I've never tried printing any type of hollow tube.

HOLLOW?!

of course, for LED wiring!

So I took the three goosenecks and located then each end about a central opening.

Next, I selected each gooseneck one-at-a-time and used the one gooseneck to trim the other two.

This provided me three open paths for wires terminating at the central opening.

I didn't know if one could print it without the passage closing up.  Internal supports would be self-defeating.

So I can set my blender program to not print internal supports

To make the light head I took a photo of the actual light head at the CTA California Station I am modeling.

Then simply modeled a cross-section from the photo. Then revolve the cross-section in a full circle.

The actual light head lowest edge is thin metal. I can't 3D print something that thin and have it survive. So I thicken the inside of the revolve cross- section at the bottom.  And then print it.

Alan, very nice!  What color will you paint the benches?  I haven't seen the real ones so don't know what would be prototypical.  When they are lit they will be stunning!

Wow!  Beautiful work as always Alan.

just incredible!
