Yard Lights - DIY Easy and Low cost

It takes lots of light masts to illuminate a large rail yard. This video show how to increase detail and save up to 90% of the cost by use of 3D-print and a few minutes of assembly.

Hi Mark 👋, I'm still alive... Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️ I really enjoy your friendship ❤️

[@derekalexander4030]

You’re so popular in the US, maybe you should consider doing one German light and one US light in the same video. Thank you for another great tutorial.

[@ArthurSteagallConde]

Martin, you are the guy! Greetings from Brazil, in the midle of our winter!

[@tvtoms]

Great job as usual, Martin. I've enjoyed drilling out cast metal lamps and fitting them with tiny LED's. It really is hard to tell the difference from a store bought version and it's so satisfying to make it yourself. A printer like that is a game changer.

[@lindaoffenbach]

Brilliant. Thank you for this brilliant idea. Perhaps one day you could explain all intricate details about the printing process and all its initial niggling side effects, errors, wastes and fails when setting up and using. 3D Printing on modelling channels typically just simply show the results in a jiffy without actually addressing all the hassle to get prints perfectly. Of course, we do get excellent suggestions for the model rail road this way, however from my understanding, 3D printing is quite the hobby on its own consuming quite some time to get things correctly; not all that rosy and straightforward but can be rather convoluted and very involved. For the inexperienced and potential starter in the hobby for 3D printing, an in-depth involved clarification would be exceptionally helpful. Thank you so much Martin.

Teaching tech do a really good resin printing beginners guide kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4aZpYqei5VkZq8 It's generic enough for any field for crafting to engineering and goes through how they work and how to operate them

[@pablobaio9435]

Amazing job as usual. Happy vacation, Martin.

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

You always get good cinematic shots. Would be cool to see a short video of such things.

Nice, very nice!!

Wow Thank you sir for your guide.

[@MKempICI]

Another clear and useful video. Thank you, sir!

[@darissk3869]

I like the details of the lamp installation🆒❄️

[@TATICMOOR]

Great looking yard lamps Martin, though I would have painted the lamp hoods black to cut out any light bleed first before inserting the wired LEDs, but a wonderful job with the end results.

[@artursmihelsons415]

Great ideas and nice job! Looks awesome!

[@HenrikSweden1]

looks great ! at 8.41 you had some difficulty when you tried to press the finished lamppost into its base. try using at tiny dot of olive oil on the base and it will work like a charm. thanks !

[@melkitson]

Wonderful Martin. Interesting to see that you soldered your own LEDs. I prefer to buy them ready soldered from China. The cost is minimal but you wait a long time for delivery. Lighting makes such a difference to a layout.

[@modellbahnjp]

Sehr interessante Folge. 🤩🤩 Viel Neues erfahren.

[@bradstaffotd4715]

Another Great video

[@ricksmelt5645]

Hi martin, You know some youtuber's make car collection video's. Why don't you make a model train collection video, including al your train's. I thought maybe a good idee. Because you have so many.

[@petter5721]

Trevlig sommar 🇸🇪👍🏻

[@georgelogothetis549]

I am surprised the two copper wires in contact with each other, don't cause a short circuit

[@peterpocock9062]

Hi Martin, you have nearly convinced me I need a 3d printer!!! May I suggest you try a 4 to 6k ohm resistor. The higher resistance should make the LED less bright. Thanks for another great vid'.

[@Alpenkracher]

WOW 🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍

Yet another great video - can you pls. provide the product number for the led and brass tubes used in this video? Thank you in advance.

[@skaz0chnik]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mariebcfhs9491]

to my surprise, a high resolution inkjet printer capable of printing waterslide decals is more expensive than a 3D resin printer.

[@timothyjohnston4083]

A couple questions: 1- Would it not be easier to paint the lamp hood black *before* assembly ? 2- Both of the wires are the same colour, how did you know to which the resister should be connected ?

[@andershpersson]

Hi, which kind of glue do You use, when gluing together (or on to), resin prints ? Please include brands on glue (if any).

[@AlexMOBAOpa]

Thanks for the video. There were good tips. I have a question about the heat of the soldering iron on the LED. How hot was this set? Greetings from Alex and his MoBa grandpa

[@marklinofsweden]

270 degree Celsius

[@AlexMOBAOpa]

@@marklinofsweden Thanks very much

[@epicspel]

It wold be great if some one made a märklin no 3d printing railroad crossing :D

[@robairifly]

Hi Martin, Could you tell us the partnr for the LED's you used. There are so many kinds of these things. I found all the other items. Thanks.

[@johnluijendijk6102]

Technical question: Why putting a resistance on the copper wire?

[@marklinofsweden]

To reduce the 16VDC from the power supply to the 3VDC the LEDs are running at.

[@johnluijendijk6102]

Thank you.

[@ashwinzondag1987]

i did also print a couple of the lamp post like in your video, they printed fine, and straight, but after curing on a rotating platform the prints started to warp. Do you know what could cause this problem? when they where warped, i did put them in hot water, and straighten them up again, but after some while they started to warp again unfortunally.

[@marklinofsweden]

Hi! Maybe try another type of resin? What resin are you using?

[@ashwinzondag1987]

Pour une fois que la traduction est bien faite... le texte prend beaucoup de place sur l'écran (du moins sur un smartphone !) et on voit nettement moins bien les écrans qui sont montrés. Mais dans l'ensemble c'est bien 👍

[@mikedulle1149]

Why would show a demonstration that 99.9 percent of people don't have the equipment you used in this video? Very grossly and totally wrong.

Let me explain you on example: In 1992 hardly someone had a connection to the Internet. Anyway we all were going to find out at some point how useful it is for us, e.g. to spit nonsense criticism on KZbin comments. ;-) This is our future.

[@melkitson]

As Martin explained, 3d printers are reducing in price all the time. They are almost in reach of people who have a limited income like me. Alternatively you could develop your own creativity and try scratch building something for yourself. Very unique.
