3d Printed Buildings

[nvrr49]

Thanks Sherrel

I 3d printed this on an Afinia home printer. The tile roof was made using the 1960's era Vac-U-Form toy over forms that I 3d printed. Design and construction details, along with some more pictures can be seen at: http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2014/06/barry-well-3d-printing-and-vac-u.html

Nvrr49 do you sell these?

 

[nvrr49]

Yes, but I just send you a bag of 3d printed parts. They are craftsman kits, for experienced modelers. I have not instructions. I will be posting some finishing tips on my blog at a later date. So, the simple and answer is yes, the parts for the well, including enough Vac-U-Formed tile to make the roof that will need cut, would be $10.00 plus postage. Personal message me, or send me an email at nvrr49 AT yahoo DOT com if you are interested in any thing you see on my blog. Thank you for your interest.

I am often asked, as above, if I sell any of the items that I design and 3d print. I have set up a web blog to offer some items for sale. I do have a business set up to collect and pay taxes, Taxes being the price we pay for a civilized society. I have only listed a few items so far, but I will try to add an item or two every month. This is not a full time business, it is a hobby. The web blog is http://hurleysmrs.blogspot.com/.

As I explain on the site, I am only selling the 3d printed parts, so most if not all structures will need additional parts and pieces added to complete the project. These are intended for experienced modelers and are not toys. THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTION SUPPLIED. If you see something on my personal blog, http://nvrr49.blogspot.com, that you are interested in purchasing, and it is not listed here, just let me know and I will see if we can accommodate your request.

I just finished up these bridges last week. Both designed in SketchUp and 3d printed on a home printer. Design and construction details can be viewed at http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2014/06/stone-arch-bridges-3d-printed-down-on.html?m=1

While playing with 3d printing glass blocks, I ran across a building that looked like it would be a good test. The prototype is a building in Memphis. Construction details can be seen at this link.

I will be doing a clinic on using a home 3d printer at the National Narrow Gauge convention in a couple weeks, and I will be demonstrating SketchUp, the program I use for designing.

Kent, you are getting pretty amazing in your work. I love seeing your creations.

 

[nvrr49]

Thank you, more to come

A bank building based on one in Chilhowee Missouri along the old Rock Island line. This was designed and 3d printed in HO scale, taking over 9 hours of print time. I will be doing a clinic on using a home based 3d printer at the National Narrow Gauge Convention next week, stop by and say hi.

The basic structure was printed on an Afinia home printer, and the windows and doors were printed as shapeways. This is based on an early 20th century Gulf filling station. Design and construction details can be seen at http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2014/09/hexagon-gulf-gas-station-3d-printed.html

Based on the Cassville and Exeter depot at Cassville, MO. The main building was 3d printed on an Afinia printer and took over 17 hours. Design and construction details can be viewed at: http://nvrr49.blogspot.com/2014/10/cassville-and-exeter-depot-3d-printed.html

Kent,

Thanks for keeping us updated on your adventures with a 3D printer. I've thought about getting one, but I already have way too many toys, from a printing press to complete wood and metal shops, in addition to the railroad.

 

[tootnkumin]

Neat stuff.

 

[santafewillie]

Kent - Really neat looking gas station. I had forgotten about this thread, thanks for bringing it back to life.

Kent great work there!

I was wondering how this 3d printer would perform in trying to print passenger cars (ie printing resolution vs flutting).

In a word, BAD. Not near the surface quality needed. Use Shapeways for that, either FUD or FXD. The problem is the cost and size. Their new liquid resin may work too, but I have not tried it.
