N Scale Sawmill Green Chain....

=========================================

You can find the print files for the 'green chain' on thingiverse ( HERE ).

=========================================

This sawmill green chain is modeled loosely off of the one at Hull-Oakes Sawmill. It will be part of my sawmill scene and will attach to the side of the main sawmill building. I decided to put the print files up thinking maybe someone else could use it in a sawmill scene. If you do send me some pictures and I'll add them to the build.



If you use the #20 file shown above some of the structure elements are very small and more apt to break when removing the supports.



The #30 print option has some of those elements beefed up by a bit (.005”/ .13mm) so are a little stronger and you really can't see the increase in size much.



I let ChituBox put the supports in and used the smallest size. Lots of them so took maybe 20 minutes to remove them carefully. Had a couple small things break but it is really hard to see them and won't be seen at all when it is on the layout.



Above is a picture of Hull-Oakes green chain and...



…. another one above. I tried to get the design somewhat close.

I love the printer and the resin. Couldn't hope for much more. Most of the detail is still too small to see at much of a distance so I don't need more in print resolution.



.



….. hope some of you guys can maybe get some use out of this design.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .



In my build the roof connects into the main building. I modified it (above) for those that can't do that and need a stand-alone roof over their green Chain.  Also added another option where the walkways have individual boards that show.
