OO Scale Maintenance Shed As I started to build out the Diorama, I decided I wanted something with some height and depth to give some perspective. After a mooch around the Cults.com website that lists 3D printing items. I landed on this. Credit for this design goes to XXXXAt the time of writing, this is the biggest thing I have printed out on the 3D printer. I started printing out the basics. I had to change the base layer on the printer to “Raft” which creates a layer or material beneath the actual printed parts. Without this, the print wasn’t working right and didn’t want to stick. I’m still learning 3D printing, I’m sure there are other ways to get the print to adhere better to the plate, feel free to comment below.After the above parts printed OK, I printed the rest of the items. As you can see, I ran out of grey filament and switched to white. I like the white, it takes less coats of paint to get the right shades I’m looking for.I now needed to find somewhere to put the shed. Out came the dremel and I removed 2 sections of track, then removed the ballast. I wanted the floor of the engine shed to resemble concrete so I fired up the Laser Cutter and created sections of “Concrete” from 2mm plywood. These were airbrushed and weathered with some powders to give the effect of age and dirt. With the “Concrete” floor laid, it was time to glue the frame of the shed in place. In this picture you can see the roof on. It’s only lying on the frame. I want to make the roof removable because I’m sure I’ll end up detailing the inside at some point. The shed is now glued in place. Here I am test fitting an LED lamp I got off eBay. More Updates... With the 3D printer, I created some doors. The “wasp” stripes need toning down a bit. Below you can see where I installed the dirty windows. The roof will be the next section I tackle. Share this:FacebookX Related Buildings 3D Printingbuildingsdiorama
