===== An overview of Templot 3D exports ===== \\ {{:pasted:20241115-071219.png}} Experimental work is under way to create 3D-printed track direct from Templot files. Currently available for bullhead track using REA-pattern chairs. ------ ==== Plug track ==== {{:pasted:20241115-061835.jpeg}} Plug track is suitable for all gauges and scales. Resin-printed chairs clip into sockets in the timbering base. There is an option to use a separate loose outer chair jaw, which makes the construction of complex formations more straightforward. The timbering base can be FDM (filament) printed, or laser-cut, or CNC-milled. More about plug track on the [[https://85a.uk/bexhillwest/wordpress/|Bexhill West]] pages and videos. ------- ==== COT track ==== {{:pasted:cot_125.jpg}} COT track (integral Chairs On Timbers) is suitable for scales 7mm/ft and larger. A ready-to-use chaired timbering base is FDM-printed, into which the rails are inserted. A fast FDM printer is recommended. No resin-printed parts are needed. -------- {{url>https://c7514493.myzen.co.uk/comp_output/plug_track.php 100%, 2500px, noborder fullscreen}} {{tag> overview_3D_exports 3D_printing 3D_for_CNC_and_CAD }}
