Replacement FasTrack Switch Stand (and optionally Lever)

prusaprinters

<p>The Lionel Fastrack manual switches have a weak design for the switch stand and lever. It would last a 10 year old kid about 3 minutes before it is broken.</p> <p>I have two switches, both broken. I did order replacement stand and lever for them directly from Lionel :</p> <p><a href="https://www.lionelsupport.com/ReplacementParts/index.cfm?doAction=productPartFilter&amp;number=6-12017&amp;productID=667BBBAF-A2CA-4F87-8E17670528E00197">https://www.lionelsupport.com/ReplacementParts/index.cfm?doAction=productPartFilter&amp;number=6-12017&amp;productID=667BBBAF-A2CA-4F87-8E17670528E00197</a></p> <p>Item 17 6102017084 STAND / SIGNAL LEVER / FASTRACK MANUAL SWITCH<br/> Item 8 6102017094 RED SIGNAL LEVER / FASTRACK MANUAL SWITCH</p> <p>When I got them, I promptly destroyed one of the stands trying to get the feet into<br/> the holes on the roadbed.</p> <p>So I decided to design a replacement switch stand myself. (Note that I tried to design a replacement lever as well but its small geometries were beyond my abilities to produce.)</p> <p>Attached is the OpenSCAD code to create the stand. The code also attempts to create a lever but, as I said, I was not successful at that. I used the PrusaSlicer and created PLA gcode files (all attached). If you think you need something stronger, you might want to reslice for ABS. The gcode file is sliced for a Prusa i3 MK2s.</p> <p>The switch stand uses supports which need to be cleaned off. The stand fits snugly into the roadbed holes. I did not use the two small screws to hold it in place. You may need to run a small drill bit though the holes in the stand for the lever.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Prusa i3 MK2s</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> </p> Category: Vehicles
