3D model description

Edit: Was asked to add a resin version as a one piece print. Not sure about the pin hole size, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Added 4A Resin Beercan Tankcar #1

Another in my series of N Scale FDM printed freight cars. This time its a Shorty Beercan Tankcar! Who doesn't love a Shorty Tankcar? I found few images and sketched up my own version. It mostly prints as one piece with the bottom pieces separate and snapped into place. Included is a base to support the car while installing both the base pieces into the body as well as the Micro-Trains medium shank coupler's pins. Here's a short video on the Beercans: https://youtu.be/FnCdzwgcqK0

The base pieces come in smaller sizes -2 through -8 as the smallest. If you scale the base piece the mounting hole for the couplers will also change size. So better to scale the body if needed. Feel free to ask for larger or smaller base pieces as each printer is setup slightly differently.

3D printing settings

I've been doing infill first then inside perimeters for printing order using Simplify3D as a slicer. With Adaptive layers the curved surfaces print better.
