HO Scale Container and Truck Loading Facility companion

thingiverse

This is more of a companion piece rather than a remix except for the sling. I redesigned the sling a little bit to accept a rare earth magnet into it. The Magnets that I used were from Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Magnet-0-47-in-Neodymium-Rare-Earth-Magnet-Discs-6-per-Pack-07046HD/202526367 You will have to pause the print right before the first layer covers the hole in the design. If you are using a magnetic build plate just drop the magnet in. If you are not using a magnetic build plate then put a drop of super glue in the hole before putting the magnet in and make sure the glue has dried enough to not get pulled up by the extruder before continuing the print The trucks were modified from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:426812 They were cut in half and had the arms extended and resized so they fit into the gantry sides The wheels were also modified from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:426812 The shaft was shortened and the hole enlarged for 12 AWG solid wire For your container that you want on the sling you will need to open it up (usually the bottom comes off on the Atlas containers) and glue another rare earth magnet to the underside of the top of the container Lastly let me give a shout out to the original modeller Kim Brumble for making such fantastic and well thought out models! https://www.thingiverse.com/kabrumble/designs
