Tool developed for bending handrails for the BR 20t Brake Van Project - but obviously its use extends beyond that...
Designed for and tested on 0.8mm diameter stainless steel mig welding wire, that is otherwise rather difficult to get a neat, tight, bend in.
It utilises a modified M5 Hex head bolt, with a plain shank element of at least 20mm, cut and slotted at 1 end 5mm deep - see the .STL, just don't expect a 3d printed version to work! It uses a second bolt (or second part of the first one).
Sectional track each printed as one piece.
After the second world war 10 War Department Class 08's were purchased by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen in 1946. Because they were not equiped with Westinghouse brakes, they could only be used for shunting services (500 series). The series 600 and 700 were fitted with the required brakes to operate on the main lines. The exterior of all the series is almost identical.
Stanier's first long wheelbase guards van, built from 1933. Very much an alpha release as I have not managed to put together a completely satisfactory model myself. Please feed back any issues found.
Chassis and gearbox for 1910 Greenly designed Great Northern Gauge 2 0-4-0 Saddle Tank. This model was originally electric when made in 1910 but came to me without chassis or mechanism. The outline follows Greenly's design and the mechanism is a modern 385 motor driving through my standard bevel wheel gearbox. Power is supplied by 2x 26650 Lipos and running time is several hours (at least).
This is some openSCAD code and stls for an L shaped corner clamp. Given the need I will try to enhance this code further at some time.
Hopefully this will prove usefull to someone. Does not need supports to print.
The first parameter "type" is there for future additions of different clamps.

It is sometimes desired to combine the use of a slicer program with a 3d Printer that was not originally designed for it. This can occur when changing slicers or using older generation printers. I had a particular need to use an ageing but large and still excellent Taz 5 3d printer, with Prusa Slicer, which is one of the leading slicer programs currently (2023), under continuous development. Prusa Slicer does support many third party printers but not the Taz 5. After searching I came across a Reddit/Lulzbot link to a Github project that is aiming to link Prusa and Lulzbot in this way.
