After making my billboard car adapter I got thinking to what |
|
else I could make. I have a blank version of the plate that I |
|
can create whatever I want on it. I then remembered that there |
|
is a 3D name generator on Thingiverse. |
|
So from there I generated a text message and merged it to a |
|
blank flat car base I had made. Lucky for me I ended up with a |
|
non-Lionel flat car that I got on ebay. Being shorter than a |
|
regular Lionel flat car worked out for me. The shorter car means |
|
less blank space on the deck of the car. |
|
I created the base in Vectary, and the name on Thingiverse |
|
Creator. I merged them in Vectary and sliced it with Cura. I |
|
printed this at high resolution with 15% infill. |
|
If interested drop me a message :D I have two build platforms. |
|
The shorter 194mm non Lionel deck and the 254mm Lionel deck. |
|
Note that the shorter deck plate has to be attached with sticky |
|
tape or 2mm sheet metal screws. The 254mm Lionel deck can use |
|
2mm machine screws and will cause no damage to the car. |
