What would also be interesting would be to have a general instruction to 3D printing, including how you get from having an original in your hand to getting the machine to print a copy.

Ah so that's what it was, well done looks to be a good fit.

Please do create a specific thread for 3D printing, it is a very fascinating aspect for modelers and could become very useful for just the sort of thing you have shown us.

If you can, can you also explain the method of creating the file or 3D information to start with that is stored on A 'Pen Drive' or 'Memory Card', the method of actual printing it pretty straight forward, but most of us here on the forum may be wondering how you actually start with the raw information.

Unless "Tinman" has any objection, can I suggest a 3D printing thread is put into the...'Tinman's Restoration Handbook' section.

Hi,

also I finished this week the Muir-hill with broken hinges.
Special thanks to Tinman for showing how to fix this things.
Because the hinges broke again while trying to fix the axle of the tipper I tooked a thi round shell and glued to short axels from both sides into it.
You can see it on the last picture.
A "Laing" Label is still missing.
