I made a DIY N Scale Building Interior

[@johnnyrobertson5971]

Really enjoyed this video and was so cute the way you injected a little humor into the video for it warmed up your teaching. Not into 3D yet but who knows what the future may hold. Thank you Jimmy for taking the time to share your talent with us and what one can do with a 3D printer. Best to you and your family and to quote you, Happy Railroading!!

Next replace the LEDs with NeoPixels, then you can adjust the color, brightness and turn off the lights individually via an Arduino. Do all the buildings that way and it can be quite effective with random lights going on a off at seemingly random intervals.

Hi Jimmy, Very good episode. I like the way you designed into your base piece a fixture for a lamp. Good move. That is something you do not normally get with a mass produced kit. HOWEVER, A few spots you may have missed. 1st~the support for your photo set drops. An up sale item could be a piece of CLEAR Styrene as well as a Translucent Styrene. One styrene could be cut to fit across the building interior, from upright supports to same opposing supports. The other could be cut for the rear facing uprights. With the bulb sandwiched between you get a clear transparent backing for the scenic sticker & a diffusion filter for the undressed windows. To the base add four corner tabs that would snuggly fit inside the finished walls of the first floor. This would eliminate, to a slight extent, the need for glue to hold the building in place and provide the modeler a predetermined location for the structure. They don't want to use the base...their choice. I am possible wrong about this one, but it appeared in the CAD design that there was additional space for props. A counter and cash register, a pickle barrel, on such for inside the shop. And they can be produced all in the same 3d run. Lastly the second floor would be a great accessory purchase to buy your second floor design. Again I'm unsure of your CAD/3D Plate measurements. From the episode it looks as though may fit in a single run. If so you could include the second floor as a PREMIUM LIMITED EDITION offering for cost plus plus plus. Yes! You would have to determine if all this is cost prohibitive or not. Considering I just spent $185.00 for a sawmill. It was only two sided. You should find a price point that would fit the entire HARD Structure. Photo interiors, LED Bulbs, Window glazing remains the responsibility of the buyer. Also I need your ETSY Store URL Thanks, ~Jim

Another great video Jimmy. This was extremely helpful for on my layout.

👍👍 boffo, Jimmy. Looks great. Thank you for the share.

[@EmPtySworld1]

Another great video sir. Thank you for sharing.

I would like to find out more about resin printing over my old filament printer. Wondered about minimum thickness or warpage. Lower level interior looked great but upper level needed 4 post to make square looking wall and diffuse light on all windows. Could just the one lower LED send light into upper just through the second floor hole? More translucent second floor?

[@zakmakoff2277]

I know it's two years later and I haven't read the other comments, do you include clear plastic for the windows? Also, I think you should include a couple different backgrounds for the interior. Great video!

[@allenbarnes7202]

Great results

[@larrybaughman618]

It's very nice thank you

What a coincidence. I was looking for interiors for my pre-Just Plug Woodland Scenics Built and Ready buildings. I wish they made the interiors available for their older structures. That leads me to my question - how large are the holes you are making for the lighting? To be compatible with the Just Plug system they need to be at least 3/8" to pass the plugs through. At first when you referred to your lights as bulbs I assumed you were not using LEDs but I see I was wrong. It should not be too difficult to make this work with the flat type LEDs.

you have all the heights from the 3D printing, correct? Seems like you could trim the height of the labels much easier since you know the height of your supports. I've found some great N scale 3-D printed furniture on ShapeWays

[@jamescraft672]

So, the pictures were made from standard labels (e.g., Avery)? This was a neat video. I haven't acquired a 3D printer, but I can definitely see that in my future, especially for the interiors of buildings. I really like the idea of diffusing the light. Many other videos have just put the bare LED lights into a building, resulting in light that is too bright and too focused.

[@CM-ARM]

Let us know if and when 🤔 you plan on putting them up for sale.

[@railwayjade]

Awesome awesome video

[@bobwright8965]

what size did you print the interior on sticker paper

[@rickgould8832]

Awesome video and great ideas, are you going to post your designs on your Thingiverse page?

[@KerleyExpress]

really nice

[@jamescraft672]

Would you do this in HO, too?

[@regisbrooks8064]

How can I make a lighted sign like Baskin Robbins or Dunkin donuts

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

This sounds like an interesting project for me to tackle.

[@bluesman285a]

Where do you find the interiors?

[@DIYDigitalRailroad]

I will usually just google "Building interior" or "Shop background" until I am able to find what I like.

[@bluesman285a]

@@DIYDigitalRailroad Toughest part is knowing the scale or converting from O scale to N scale. Sometimes the standard conversions dont work because of UK scaling (Sigh)

They make scissors you know, way over explained, we don't need to hear every detail
