3D MODEL DESCRIPTION
Welcome aboard the railroad steel;
where the train is 3D printed
but it rolls like it’s real!
Do you like my poem? Even better than my poetry skills is this steam locomotive! It has a winding up system so it will roll around and pick up your passengers without you playing the machinist. Tickets, please?
As this piece requires assembly, here are the written instructions and a video of the assembly on this link: https://youtu.be/IHLwe8G_AGE
- It is recommended that both the written instructions and the video be used together to make the assembly process easier and more efficient.
First, print out all the necessary parts. What you’ll need is:
2x Wheel 3
2x Wheel 1
4x Wheel 2
4x Washer 2
4x Washer 1
2x Tire 1 - We recommend use TPU for this piece, as it improves the movement of the wheel.
2x Tire 2 - We recommend use TPU for this piece, as it improves the movement of the wheel.
Attach the pair of “Wheels 2” to the bottom part of the locomotive. They are the front wheels. Make sure to add one “Washer 1” to each of them.
Place “Wheels 3” in the next following slot, securing them with a “Washer 2” on each.
Connect “Gear 4” to “Axle 3” and attach it to the back wheels (Wheels 1) as instructed in the video. Add a “Washer 2” to each wheel after securing them.
Attach the “Key” to the end of “Axle 2”.
Fit the spring onto “Axle 1”, and then slide “Axle 2” (with the key already attached) through the spring as shown in the video.
Connect “Gear 1” to the other end of “Axle 1”. Then, add “Gear 2” to the middle slot. Finally, place “Gear 3” on top of the spring, connecting all three gears. Place the “Ratchet” on top of “Gear 3”.
Following the video instructions, attach the assembly to the bottom part of the locomotive.
Finish your awesome steam locomotive by adding “Tire 1” to “Wheel 1” and “Tire 2” to “Wheel 2”.
Finally, put the “Top Shape” of the locomotive in place to close it up, and you're done! Enjoy your new steam locomotive and happy riding!
