Description

A simple train elevator using the principles of screws.

Asembly:

 

1) Insert the rail into the main body; do this by rotating it 90 degrees horizontally and sliding it in

2) Place the two screws through each hole, align with the rail spin them/tighten them until they are on an equal level to each other and the rail is flat.

3) Slightly Lift them up and slide the handle gear into the gap. Make sure that the extruding gap perfectly fits with the hole in the main body.

4) Align the teath from each gear with the handle gear.
5) Screw on the end caps (the two small cylnder thingies) under the main body to prevent the screw element from moving vertically.

6) Optional: add stopper rail to one of the sides.

Make sure that the screws print horizonally; this increases layer adhesion and prevents them from cracking!!

thank you for sharing the model. however, the height to the second floor is too low so Bri trains we have doesn't get in to the first floor rail. the train passes the second floor ceiling but also very tight. is it possible to adjust the height overall? and I am not following where to put two spacers? can you please share some photos?

Looks great! The idea is really cool, but the mechanics of it are pretty clunky and the gear teeth are too small for the tolerances, so they skip and grind against each other. Will still give it to my son, but with the amount of force you need to get in moving I don't think it will last long! Still, thank you for sharing and keep designing!
