Mehano TGV DUPLEX replacement intercars bogie connection / bogie intermédiaire HO 1:87

thingiverse

After searching online for a replacement part, and seeing most people sold their used ones for 20€ I decided to remake these for resin printers (not tested on FDM due to very very small details) As the original they are in 2 parts, but i've updated the design to allow the fitment of universal power pickups (like these cutted in half https://www.ebay.fr/itm/191511107014?var=490591941468 ) The terminals are hidden under the cowl. You can also opt to print your own wheels if you want to go for a full 3d printed part. I've only tested it with original mehano wheel set, but they cost a pretty penny again :( For reference the wheels diameter is 10.4mm and point to point width is 24.5mm. Be aware that so far on my testing there is a lot more rolling resistance than the original part. But as the bogie is way heavier than the original it could help with deraillments. If your resin expands a bit while curing like mine, you will have to sand a little bit to make the cowl fit the bogie This should work on all duplex styled Mehano TGVs ( OuiGo, InOui etc…) want to help me or tip? → https://ko-fi.com/lkdesu3 Many thanks As a reminder: Please do not print and sell without my written permission
