Description

For Sale: Caboose Floor, replacement for the original wood floor. 3D Printed with PLA filament, this floor contains all the detail of the timber that went into building the prototype car. This part can be used for CB&Q or C&NW versions using our car sides. Included in this offer are the bolsters/center sill extension PN# 6105. In addition, I am including the 3D Printed skin for the flooring inside of the waycar in case it is built to remove the roof and have it detailed inside for show. To assemble this kit, the bolsters can either be glued, or mounted with the 4 2-56 machine screws with glued if desired. If screws are used to mount the bolsters to the underside of the floor, a tap #50 drill should be used to clear the holes from the top side of the floor. The holes can be tapped with a 2-56 tap for the machine screws. Some clean up may be required such as cleaning the countersunk holes on the floor or printer build plate brims. Laminating the skin to the floor completes the assembly and hides the screws. The floor is printed solid 100% infill and is very sturdy.
I recommend viewing my video for further discussion:
I hope you enjoy putting this component together on your way to building out an entire western style caboose.
I will be making a rather large number of documents and comprehensive prototype blueprints available on my web site for reference purposes. This aids if the modeler wants to super detail the model to exacting standards. We will be using the original part numbers as found in the old All Nation catalogs to make it easier to reference sub-assemblies that went into the kit boxes.
Glue! Please reference a good article from Prusa Research:
Although, I still like Walthers Goo for certain applications.
Sold as is straight off the Prusa Printer built plate, all sales final no returns. PLA is not dishwasher safe and may deform in a hot automobile in the summer time as it has a relatively low glass-transition temperature.
