Roundhouse interior with Anycubic Photon Mono M7 Pro

[@HaroldAlexis-bb8sd]

This is scenery i definitely need for all my shop buildings in Ho scale 100%.

[@TheGtomarc]

Again a great video Martin. Funny enough there is a roundhouse sitting here waiting for completition. The developement of 3D printers is astonishing so at some point in the future there will be one making it's way into this modelloft

[@arnaudmarklin]

Thank you for the video. It seems so easy. Nice week end

[@lindaoffenbach]

A wonderful project as always and quite the leap forwards in printing time. A question always coming to mind about Anycubic is can they work as fully stand-alone, i.e., not connected to the internet or any other devices. Perhaps you could elucidate on it. Cheerio and a great weekend.

Very nice 👌 😊

nice video

good vid thanks lee

[@drewpierce2273]

The Photon tech thing is not the way I want to go, even though it does a really nice job of making rail add ons. And definitely not in my price range. It would be a good model RR club purchase, though. I'll stick to kits or scratch building. Thanks for your assessment of it.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! I see the 3D-print as a great cost saver and a way to really be able to customize my models, far beyond whats possible scratchbuilding or kit bashing. I don’t know what locomotives you buy/run, but here in Europe none is availble as low cost as this 3D-printer. Locomotives these days start at €420. Steamers are never below €700 now. Not even second hand stuff is really low-cost either. Those prices has crawled up with the prices of the new stuff..

The cones may be steam injector blanks, to machine down ready to add hot steam into the heated water within the filled boiler from the superheating tubes?

[@marklinofsweden]

Okay! Thank you for this information!

[@kennethdurham9903]

Thnks for an excellent video. I have tried to get the items printed here in Australia and the companies I approached say that the thickness is too small even for a resin printr and they would need to increase the thickness of the items to 1 or 2 mm. Have you had any similar problems with thickness of the items. Regards Ken

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi Ken! No, smallest thickness for resin print on a cheap consumer style 3D-printer is 0,4mm. A printer like Anycubic M5s or M7 or M3 plus prints 0.4mm thickness every time without defects or print fails.

[@kennethdurham9903]

@@marklinofsweden Hello Martin. Thank you for the comment. I have now approached 6 Australian 3D resin print companies and none will undertake the print run unless the thickness is increased to 1mm or more. They say that some of the items would be too fragile to handle. One even suggested solid red wax as a substitute medium. Are you in a position to do a print run and I would reimburse your costs and postage??

[@fodi123]

Dear Martin, do you have any plans to add more N scale models to your really nice collection? With resin printing that should be possible even if some of the finer details need to simpler.

Hi, I am orientating on 3D printers. The Anycubic models look great. But I read about quite some issues with the necessary online setup proces of the latest models. What is your opinion on this topic? Ps I hope you do some movies again on building techniques without high end equipment. Thanks for your inspiring channel

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! ”Quite some issues with on-line setup”. I don’t really know what that is all about. I have not experienced any issues with the cloud and/or account setup. It’s a standard dialog. They ask about E-mail and such things. It took no more than 5 minutes for me. Also the remote print works great, but requires good WiFi-coverage at the location of the printer, or each file download gets slow. That is not really related to the printer though.

[@marklinofsweden]

”Building w/o high end equipment”. Yepp! I try to both stay in front regarding modern methods and also presenting old manual reliable methods too. Somehow, when I do videos using oldschool methods I get comments like ”I learned nothing new in this video” or ”You showed this method already”. If I on the other hand show high-end methods comments is typically ”I liked your older videos better” or ”I cannot anyway afford this type of mashinery”. So.. I try to balance..

[@maurits1232]

@@marklinofsweden thanks a lot for your reaction. I can understand it's hard to please everyone everytime. Anyway, I really appreciate your items and will keep watching👍

Hi young man its bob Cooney

[@johnDukemaster]

That milling machine looked alot like a lathe. 🙂

[@petert9749]

Hmm? Of course, being a good boy, some time very soon, Martin is going to show us his real workshop. Aren't you Martin. Enjoy.

[@timopaso6444]

Hi, How is the cleaning of this printer? more work than on the M5s pro

[@MrTrenzz]

I really miss you working on your layout... Do you have any plans to improve a certain area or perhaps rebuild some older area?

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! I worked on my layout in the video last week. Do you see it?

[@vanilleshake3841]

is the printer very loud while heating the vat?

[@SwissLogistics]

Cost of that printer, I can buy a New DCC Steam Locomotive cheaper.

[@Mike__B]

So at what point does a 3d printer make financial sense? Some guy just making a "normal" size layout (i.e. not a 40' x 80' basement area) or do you really need to be a content creator where you're constantly making dioramas and the like?

[@marklinofsweden]

A really good 3D-printer is now $400. My layout is 15’ x 9’. My 3D-printer was profitable already after 4 days. I printed catenary, freight cars and yard detailing stuff. The model railroad items are so expensive in the shops these days + shops are closing, so 3D-print will be the dominant way to build within 2-3 years.
