I was looking for some mechanical model and I found this locomotive, I really liked it, so I tried to make a 3d printed model for those who like history and trains. The parts do not need support , some are made of two parts and need to be glued together.</p><h3><strong>UPDATE! Added Stl model parts</strong></h3><p> <strong>Complete assembly instructions are in the video.</strong> </p><p>I made the holes for screws, axles and wires smaller so that they fit exactly after drilling the part. I'm glad I used bearings, all the moving parts move easily.<br><strong>Hardware:</strong> 9 pieces of <strong>bearings 5x10x4 mm</strong><br> 8 pieces of <strong>bearings 3x6x2.5mm</strong><br> 1 piece<strong> M3x35mm</strong>, 1 piece <strong>M3x30mm</strong>, 1 piece<strong> M5x15mm</strong><br>3 pieces of <strong>brass wire 125x3mm</strong>, 4 pieces of brass wire 8x3mm and 2 pieces of wire 1.5x140mm for the control rods</p><p>I ordered the bearings in a model shop and the brass wire in a welding shop, it was nothing complicated</p><p>Grind the 8x3mm brass wire axle a bit on one end to fit the 3x6x2.5mm bearing</p><p>Grid under the driver - straight line fill and 0 top and bottom layers when setting the print</p><p>I also made a mockup of the rails to make the model look realistic. The cart is a bonus to the model.</p><p>I tried to make the model as easy to assemble as possible. So that there is little gluing. If I have forgotten something, or something is unclear to you, write me, I will be happy to advise</p><p><br>So far, I only know how to make models in Tinkercade and Prusaslicer. Therefore, if you have problems with 3mf files - missing holes or bad geometry, please use Prusaslicer for slicing, everything works there</p>
