Entropy Reduction
Personal log of yet another digital native.
Project maintained by andre-abadi Hosted on GitHub Pages — Theme by mattgraham
Purpose
- Update the 3d printed track parts to fit Lego City train tracks
- Further lazy-fi the designs to make them easier to print
References
- Original Bryan’s All LEGO® like train track rail in L-Gauge
- V1 of Lego Track Remix
- Lego City Passenger Train 7938
- TinkerCAD lego-train-track
- Printables: L-Guage Rails [Redux] to Fit Lego Trains
Design Files
Actions
- Tested V1 parts on actual Lego City Passenger Train
- Found that the adjustable bend originals fitted the printed parts
- Found that the static originals did not fit the printed parts
- Printed parts had a small part lacking the cutout required
- Used a stanley knife to cut out part of the printed tracks
- Printed tracks subsequently fitted the original tracks
- Back to TinkerCAD
- Rotate some cubes and lop out the necessary parts (see picture)
- Lopped off the top nodules since
- Unlikely to be used
- Increase print time
- On testing, were too loose to fit Lego pieces anyway
Reflections
- Overall a well executed plan and adaptation to real-world scenario
- Could have just printed a single track (instead of a straight and a curved) to the same diagnostic value
