Nate Brill of PennLUG has been very busy recently. Rather than go on about his work, I’ll let him tell you himself:<\/p>\n

“Several members of my club have discussed the need\/desire for larger and different sized train wheels, and the possibility of 3d printing them. Earlier this year, I was down with a back injury for a while, so I used the time to figure out some 3d design fundamentals and make my own. I don’t have any 3d printing equipment so I put them on shapeways for my own use.<\/p>\n

I have had a couple requests for these since word got out that I made them, so I set up a shapeways store:<\/p>\n

Here are some sample images:<\/p>\n

I have made XXL sized (the next size up from Ben Fleskes’ XL sized), a size between medium and large, and a medium diameter train wheel i.e. not a steam driver, just a thin train wheel but with a larger diameter.<\/p>\n

These are being offered at cost (I make no money) because I cannot guarantee the fit of the pin and axle holes and other aspects of the production which are out of my control, nor can I make any easy changes that would solve the problem. Anyway, I hope they work for anyone who tries them. Feel free to let me know.”<\/p>\n

New driver sizes are always welcome and much appreciated in the community. Head to Nate’s Shapeways shop if you want to get a set of some sweet wheels!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
