About this 3D model

I had been thinking of doing a small ground-level signal box for a while and wasn't sure what design to use; in the end, this is a combination of a few designs. The signal box has been designed to be printed in sections to aid printing. The different parts are as follows: Base, Main Body, and the Roof. If required, you could just use the main body and the roof. I have designed this item so it can be printed on an FDM or a Resin Printer. With FDM, all items can be printed in the correct orientation with minimal supports. I found that only the base needed support on my printer. I have designed this item for OO Gauge, but it can be scaled for other gauges.for HO gauge print at 87%, 1:87 scale,for O gauge UK print 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)Dimensions at OO (complete item) are Width 50mm x Depth 34mm x Height 51mm (Steps Extrude an additional 10mm)For N gauge, this item will need to be printed on a Resin Printer I have tested this item(s) on a Bambu Labs A1 FDM printer with a 0.4mm Nozzle and a layer height of 0.12mm. A 0.2mm nozzle and a smaller layer height will give you better quality print. A resin printer would give you an even better quality print.
