SCOTTY! Haha. Yeah, I sold a lot of my train stuff to finance a road trip across the country! 6,800 miles later (exactly), I'm back and looking at mostly empty train cabinets. Oh well, it was totally worth it. I have quite a few things in the works. Contact me for info and also for a scan of the doors. Each measures 1-7/16" wide by 1-3/8" tall. Write if interested! It doesn't seem to be the right size for your project, unfortunately. The height is the biggest problem. Superior style doors are probably the easiest to make from scratch because of their simple design. Consider constructing them yourself. Jeff (MrKLUKE) The width is perf but the height needs to be 1 1/2" sorry. I just will have to scratch them up I guess. Thank you just the same. |

I have found someone that will 3D print these if I can come up with spec's and or proper dimensions. Anyone? Thanks ahead. |

I went to Shapeway on the advise of a good fellow modeler and I am have them made. If all goes well I can use them as a mold to scratch build from.

Hi Scotty. I do not that I think you are planning to do anything unethical, but I think this is a good opportunity to put this out there, for what it's worth.
As I understand it, so long as any resin copies you make are for your own personal use and are not given away or sold, you should be well within your rights under copyright law (of course, I am not an attorney, so this is just my personal opinion and not legal advice).
I believe objects you purchase from Shapeways - for the purposes of copyright, anyway - should be regarded like a book or audio CD. That is, you are purchasing what amounts to a license to use someone's original (art)work. Just as you wouldn't buy a CD and make copies on your computer to sell or give away, you wouldn't sell or give away copies of someone's original work/design in the form of an object. Though the manufacturing process is different, this is essentially the same argument made against the person selling resin copies of modified Atlas, Athearn, et al locomotive shells under the name Big Dawg. What this person is doing is a clear example of piracy. Similarly, making copies of someone else's original work - even if it's modified - and distributing it is also piracy, regardless of whether the manufacturing process is additive printing or injection molding.
Again, I don't have a problem with what you're suggesting. If you want to buy one door and make a dozen resin copies for your next six boxcar projects, that's perfectly ethical and legal as I understand. Distribution is where the problems begin. Just my two cents on the matter.

Ryan thank you for putting it out there. What I meant was that I can use it to come close to by building with polystyrene for doors need on my model builds. Besides, I have never seen a 3D printer before. Respectfully, Scotty

With Shapeways, if you go with the frosted ultra detail or frosted extreme detail materials, you should be impressed with what can be done, especially when it comes to more or less flat parts. The detail is quite good.

I got my Shapeway doors and they were lightweight so I backed them with some polystyrene and installed. These are the 1st 3D parts that I have touched and it is such a deep thought to look at where he were as compared to where we are. WOW! The detail is right there and size is spot on. I can see the new and open possibilities. Now it just takes money and the very great knowledge of a Cad program, witch like most I have much of neither. With that being said, I will continue to buy these great parts from others whom possess the dollars and skills to keep the hobby alive and progressing.  |
