cteno4 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Perhaps, but will only be joining the rest of us! it just reminded me of the lasercut wood marble maze kits I got for my grand nieces and nephews. jeff Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 And while the steps are printing.... I'm starting work on a panoramic elevator. Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Decided to go with a dual panoramic elevator. 1 Link to comment

I seem to have got the free-play in the guides just about right first time. 🙂 Ps.. when finished, this will be nearly 1m tall ! Anyone interested in the .stl files when I finish ?

b.nice2000 Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 (edited) Some LED strings arrived yesterday 🙂 Subway station not plugged in, so dark, but each level can be a different colour. No back on yet, so you can see the sideboard behind. (Yes.. this is being built in the Dining Room) 🥴 Edited May 23 by b.nice2000 2 Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Any Futurama fans? I'm considering basing some of my buildings on the city level of my crazy layout on Futurama. Already found a printable file of the Planet Express building, and I was wondering what other buildings might be "recognisable". I have some ideas but they are not going to be easy to build the .stl files for. Please post pics. Link to comment
cteno4 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Electronic billboard with owner express ship crashed into it. Oh and some personal transport tubes. jeff Link to comment

Oh and some personal transport tubes. jeff Nice ideas... Both are "doable".. Have found a 3D stl file of the Express ship... Do you have a link to the actual scene, please Clear plastic flexible tube, easy enough to get hold of. Making things actually move inside.. every different issue 🙂 Currently Printing the file shown below. And have a couple of other buildings in mind. Any pics or links more than welcome.

cteno4 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Both are in the intro to the show, with folks getting sucked around in the transport tubes and the ending of the intro which ship taking off and crashing into the video billboard and stuck half way through (I guess I watched a few too many futuramas).also the aerocar traffic. jeff Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Thanks, That gives me something to work with. 🙂 Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Now that was difficult !!! Will start printing later today Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Build! difficult, but came out OK I think.. 🙂 Does anyone know what this building is called in Futurama? Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 Another rainy Saturday ... not much else to do except sit at the computer. 🙂 Link to comment

b.nice2000 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 (edited) Three more buildings. But had to order some more filament colours, so a few days delay in the builds. Billboard next, just have the build the building it stands on. Or I could put it on top of the third building below. Buildings are called Satellite Tower, New New York Plaza, and Trump Trapezium Edited June 4 by b.nice2000 added another. scaled one image down. Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted June 6 Author Share Posted June 6 Satellite Tower build came out really nice 🙂 1 Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 (edited) Finished the New New York Plaza. Decided I didn't want grey again, so I uses some "glow in the dark orange" PLA, which looks white in the light. Edited June 7 by b.nice2000 Link to comment
b.nice2000 Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 And another building design... just for fun. 🙂 I call it "The Bender Building" Might even try to put some LEDs behind the eyes and use transparent filament. 1 Link to comment
