ABOUT THIS 3D MODELGreat Scott! Are you telling me that you made a 3D printing model… out of a Jules Verne Train Locomotive?!In the finale of the western-themed Back to the Future Part III Doc Brown introduces Marty and Jennifer to his new family including his wife and sons Jules and Verne. As one would obviously expect, the Browns choose to arrive riding the most unusual of vehicles - a Jules Verne-themed time-travelling train! The “Hollywood star locomotive”, namely the archetypal 19th century USA steam locomotive Sierra Railway No. 3 was chosen to embody Doc’s ultimate invention that we are now happy to feature in Gambody’s time-travelling category!By using the components of THE hoverboard from 2015, and his extensive scientific knowledge and experience, Doc equipped a steam locomotive with a flux capacitor that was able to store loads of jigowatts required for time travel. Inspired by a “steampunky” retrofuturistic nature of the Jules Verne locomotive, our contributing 3D artist prepared an exquisite 3D printing Time Train worthy of joining any collection! The Train Time Machine sports two pairs of wings, rotating coil, propeller, and anemometer, and of course "ELB" logo on each side after train’s creator Emmett Lathrop Brown.ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTINGJules Verne Train Locomotive 3D printing model is a highly detailed assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 120 hours in total. In order to preserve the accurate likeness of the original Sierra No. 3 ‘The Movie Star locomotive’ as well as the modified movie Jules Verne “ELB” Train, the model was divided into many parts that are to be assembled as if a real locomotive. Taking into account the willingness of our customers to make their 3D printing projects as true to life as possible, Gambody team worked on the highly-articulated assembly of the locomotive that presupposes active running gear and a variety of movable elements.Thus, various special mechanisms were introduced into the model to make sure that the parts comprising the running gear, as well as the details of the frame, body, and the cab’s interior, are both authentic and highly functional (please, see "Versions' specifications", "Assembly video" and photo preview slider). The cutting of the model was chosen to ensure the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of material needed to print the generated support, e.g. locomotive’s cowcatcher, headlamp, bell, drive rods, flux capacitor, chimneys, and many more parts come as separate STL files. All assembly parts are provided in STL files of FFF/FDM version in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Jules Verne Train Locomotive model.The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.The model’s scale was calculated from the length of the Sierra No. 3 locomotive which is 12000 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scale is 1:32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:64 for the DLP/SLA/SLS version.VERSIONS' SPECIFICATIONSFFF/FDM 1.0 version features:- Contains 142 parts;- A printed model is 168 mm tall, 240 mm wide, 448 mm deep;- Gull-wing door and folding step open to access the interior of the cab that boasts an exceptional level of detail;- There are two interior options for you to choose from;- Synchronised rotation of driving wheels is ensured by an authentic active mechanism of locomotive’s running gear;- Two front leading axles turn left and right + leading wheels can also rotate;- One pair of "time travel" wings can be mounted on the cab’s roof, another can be installed on each side of the locomotive once you lift the covers;- Driving wheels (all 9 of them) can fold to imitate the train’s flight;- There are two types of cab windows - solid frames with window glasses for printing with transparent filament, and frames only;- The locomotive's boiler features a lot of articulated elements: rotating coil, propeller, and anemometer;- Also, there are springy bellows that can be fastened to the rotating wheel with a rope and set in motion via rotation of the wheel;- Spinning core is located between two magnets on the side of the locomotive;- There is a spot to install the rotating adjustable grip connector and attach the Jules Verne Train Tender;- You can light up the model's headlamp, boiler lamp, and cab. LED wiring can be easily installed throughout the body of the vehicle, while the battery can be hidden inside the cab or in Jules Verne Train Tender;- The assembly of the version's parts requires additional "pins" made out of short pieces of regular 1.75mm filament;- All parts are divided in such a way that you will print them with the smallest number of support structures.DLP/SLA/SLS 1.0 version features:- Contains 85 parts;- A printed model is 84 mm tall, 120 mm wide, 224 mm deep;- Gull-wing door and folding step open to access the interior of the cab that boasts an exceptional level of detail;- There are two interior options for you to choose from;- Synchronised rotation of driving wheels is ensured by an authentic active mechanism of locomotive’s running gear;- Two front leading axles turn left and right + leading wheels can also rotate;- This version also features two static variants of driving wheels - usual and folded for flight;- One pair of "time travel" wings can be mounted on the cab’s roof, another can be installed on each side of the locomotive once you lift the covers;- Driving wheels (all 9 of them) can fold to imitate the train’s flight;- There are two types of cab windows - solid frames with window glasses for printing with transparent material, and frames only;- The locomotive's boiler features a lot of articulated elements: rotating coil, propeller, and anemometer;- Also, there are springy bellows that can be fastened to the wheel with a rope;- Spinning core is located between two magnets on the side of the locomotive;- There is a spot to install the rotating adjustable grip connector and attach the Jules Verne Train Tender;- You can light up the model's headlamp, boiler lamp, and cab. LED wiring can be easily installed throughout the body of the vehicle, while the battery can be hidden inside the cab or in Jules Verne Train Tender;- The assembly of the version's parts requires additional "pins" made out of short pieces of a regular paper clip;- All parts are divided in such a way to fit the build plates and to ensure that support structures are generated where needed.You can get the model of Jules Verne Train Locomotive for 3D Printing immediately after the purchase!
