About this 3D model

On a recent trip to Eastleigh with my son, we went via Gillingham Station (Dorset) and spotted this concrete footbridge, which I thought would be an ideal design to add to my collection. The design is made up of multiple sections that can be glued together to complete the bridge. You can either build it as a U shape or put it together in a Z shape. Smoke deflectors are an optional extra. The middle span comes in three sizes of 125mm, 150mm, and 175mm. This is ideal for single or double track, and it depends on the space you have. The design is also designed to sit on the platform. The design has also been designed to be printed on an FDM printer or a resin printer (for resin, the centre section is dependant on the print build plate area of your printer). These items have been designed at 1/76 scale but can be printed at other scales.Primarily, these items have been designed to be printed on an FDM printer, but can also be printed on a Resin Printer.designed at OO gauge, 1/76.2 scale.for HO gauge print at 87%, 1/87 Scale,for TT120 gauge print at 63.5% 1/120 Scale,for O gauge UK at 175%, 1/43.5 Scale,for O gauge International print at 158%, 1/48 Scale,for N gauge print at 51.49%, 1/148 Scale, (Caution: I have not printed this model in N gauge, so can’t guarantee its printability) The examples in the pictures were printed on a Bambu Labs A1 FDM Printer.As normal with my designs, there is a balance between accuracy and printability, hopefully not affecting the look of the model too much. This design was especially difficult to get a balance between accuracy and printability. For FDM printing I used a 0.4mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.12mm using PLA filament. I recommend used the following Filament: ELEGOO PLA+ Filament 1.75mm Grey 1KG - https://amzn.to/4r1qQIM (Affiliate Link) Please check my Website, **https://sites.google.com/view/pete3dprintinghelp/home** If you like my designs, then please would you support me through my Patreon account - https://www.patreon.com/PJD1974.
