Percy’s New Parts

The parts rolled off the 3D printers over the course of the day today. The gearbox halves took all of 22 minutes on the FDM printer, while the resin printer poked along at all the bits that need to look good for over six hours. I’m happy and a little surprised to report that all the printing worked perfectly on the first try. There was a casualty in one brake when testing the fit on the frame, but the old version of the keeper plate was also missing a brake and nobody ever noticed. The cosmetic frames want a little filing and fitting before I can glue them to the brass frames, but otherwise I’m delighted with the outcome.
