About this 3D model
I had been thinking of doing modern buffer stops for some time, but wanted to take my time and research by looking at the real thing in several places. After a recent trip to Scotland, where I visited Inverness, and a trip to Exeter, I took photos and rough measurements, and the locations did have slightly different designs but were roughly 95% the same. In model form, the design had to look right, but be designed in such a way that made it strong enough for 3D printing. This design is very much a design for looks on a model railway rather than a physical stop to stop your model trains. This design is also designed to be printed on a 3D resin printer and isn’t suited for FDM printing. This design has been tested on an AnyCubic Photon M3 resin printer with a layer height of 0.04mm. It was also printed at an angle of about 15 degrees in X and Y. I used small supports and the Auto support tool within the slicer, but I did manually change or delete a few supports after. I used AnyCubic Water Washable Grey resin for testing but for strength, I would recommend using ABS-like resin to make the model stronger. Once printed and painted, you may need a dab of glue to hold it in place on your layout.
