Hopper railcar compatible with LE-GO or MOC city creative trains.

Printing

The model is printed from PLA

• Chassis - Eryone PLA - bright black
• Gondola - Aurapol PLA – yellow

There are not many special settings here - most objects have 2 perimeters and 15% infill. There are a few modifiers to improve bridging and reduce the speed for small parts of rods. Only rods have supports.

I always prioritize quality over speed, so you can "play around" with the speeds if you want.

Tolerances are set according my P1S.

There are two plates for the gondola in the print profile! Print only one! On one plate, the gondola is divided into two pieces—this is how the model in the photos was printed. It was my original idea how to print the gondola without supports. On the second plate, the gondola is turned upside down. This should make it possible to print the gondola in one piece and eliminate gluing. However, I have not tested this option yet. If you print this version, let me know in the comments if you experience any problems. Thank you.

ATTENTION - to complete the model, you need to purchase wheels, couplings, and a few screws. Details can be found in the assembly manual. There are photos of the necessary items and links to Aliexpress (you can also find these parts on Temu).
