LEGO 60337 Train inspired
Print Profile(1)
Description
This train is designed with reference to LEGO 60337, similar in spirit but not exactly alike. I believe my redesigned styling is more aesthetically pleasing. To be fair, LEGO's precision is difficult to replicate; while the joining of a couple of 3D printed parts might be tight, overall assembly cannot reach LEGO's standards! I believe this is a level of quality that most ABS bricks cannot match, and I suspect this is a matter of cost, not capability!
It's recommended to print using a single material. I used PETG and PLA due to limited filament color options; I made do with what I had! Using a consistent material minimizes assembly errors!
1. The locomotive: significantly altered from 60337, though my wife and child both find my version more appealing.
2. The carriages: largely similar to 60337, but I found the solid black roof unattractive, so I printed a second carriage with a grey roof; I think both work well!
3. The power system: purchased online; it was straightforward (I actually also designed the chassis, but the print quality was unsatisfactory due to the inability to find a suitable support-free angle, resulting in a rough surface that failed to meet my already modest aesthetic expectations).
Wishing you all happy printing! Please leave feedback in the comments if you have any suggestions for improvements; I will be sure to make revisions. Thank you for your support!!!
