As part of my work building out the the cement facility based on the Taiheiyo Cement Fujiwara Plant in Inabe I've designed and printed a bunch of structures found at the facility. This project contains a slurry tank for mixing wet materials together. You can find the reference in the Taiheiyo plant here. For some reason in the Google Maps satellite imagery the tank looks incredibly green but most reference photos looked more like a milky, concrete color. The main body file is designed with a center bit on the bottom to place in a drill for painting. I placed a brush with various colors at marks that aligned with the mixing paddles and rotated the drill to get the circular patterns. I'm currently debating adding a model water resin with a milky white color in a thin layer on top of this but haven't decided if it would look right yet. It's comprised of STL files for the main body, the walkway and the two pieces of machinery (rough models of a motor to control the mixing paddles and a motor to control the rotation of the walkway.) The file for the walkway is admittedly unnecessarily large because of the complexities of the mesh used for the slurry collecting on the paddles. After printing I realized they were much smaller (and far less visible) than I was thinking in my head. I did not modify since printing so you get what you get here. The files are available on Google Drive here. Feel free to print and use them on your own layout and modify as needed. No commercial use.

As part of my work building out the the cement facility based on the Taiheiyo Cement Fujiwara Plant in Inabe I've designed and printed a bunch of structures found at the facility. These industrial storage tanks are made to replicate this area on the grounds and using this industrial tank as a reference. Obviously not exact to what is on the grounds but using creative license to compress the space is necessary. It's comprised of STL files for each of the three tanks (due to differences in the top railings), the crossing plates (print x2) and the base plate. The files are available on Google Drive here. Feel free to print and use them on your own layout and modify as needed. No commercial use.

This is just an organizational topic for topics here on the forums with 3D print resources and examples for structures and details. Please post any additional ideas or links and I’ll keep it updated. jeff from kamome442 Yūrakuchō Neon Noir Designs Asukayama Monorail - Modelling the Snail from Giugiaro 3D printed platform ends for KATO DX platforms and V15 set from maihama eki Bunny Construction Barricade 3D Print See it.

Has anyone seen this yet. It's a Road Chain System that drags vehicles around a track using magnets. You 3D print all of the parts, add a 360° servo and boom! Bob's your uncle and you have moving cars and buses and trucks.You can download the parts to 3D print for a small fee here. It costs €4.99 for the 3D printable files. Looks like HO scale but you should be able to resize it to any scale that you want when printing it. You may add as many vehicles as you have spaces for. The servo is hidden in a building beside the road. It's all quite clever. Looks pretty cool! Cheers eh, Todd

Saw this the other day. Looks cool! Be great for buildings and even terrain over small areas. Be neat to see what it could do for roads and sidewalks. Only costs US $6000.00! http://makezine.com/2016/01/06/mcor-arke-brings-full-color-3d-printing-desktop/ Here's another showing the really expensive Mcor Isis. It's tens of thousands of $$$. Cheers eh, Todd
