Garden Railway : Märklin-like coupler for LGB cars

thingiverse

I wanted to couple Märklin Gauge 1 cars to LGB cars. So I designed a compatible coupler to fit on a LGB body mount. The design is simplified but the coupler can rotate and be lifted like in the original design. Print Settings Printer: Vertex K8400 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1 or 0.2 mm Infill: 50% Notes: The coupler needs support and Cura can't provide suitable ones. So there are 2 files one with and one without support. You can choose the one that suits you better. I've printed everything with ABS. Post-Printing To assemble the coupler you'll need a spring. The diameter of the spring is quite important or it won't do its job correctly. The spring must have a diameter of 5.8 mm and a length of 13 mm (less critical). Two 2x8 mm screws are also needed to keep the cover in place.
