Let’s try something a bit different: creating flex tracks with OpenSACD, which are compatible with the Duplo train system.
Since this module should be so simple, it doesn’t require the ‘building block generator’, which makes this tool ‘stand-alone’.
The basic idea is having single printed walls, forming a track which is also bendable, so this will be very quick to print. Secondly, if one wall snaps, the complete track should not by un-usable, so all ‘segments’ are connected with at least 2 thin walls:
There are only 3 contrilling parameters:
- Length of a ‘unit’ in [mm],
- Length of ’track’ in [mm],
- Thickness of the printed wall [mm].
Then the OpenSCAD will generate an apporiate ‘flex-track.stl’. As simple as that.
Printing single walls is going quite fast:
Usage
Sometimes you just need a small flex track inbetween.. 😉
