Description

Another Train Track Collection…. But Wait!

There are already many tracks and track sets for the typical wooden train suppliers such as Brio, Hape, Ikea Lillabo etc.

So why did I design my own tracks?

Well, many of the rails already available are based on the designs of wooden rails optimized for machining. These are therefore only suitable for 3D printing to a limited extent.
As I have already tried out several different rails and printed numerous other designs myself, I knew that there was a lot of potential for improvement here!
The tolerances of the connectors often don't fit very well either.

So I sat down to do it myself, because I wanted to have rails that were fun for me and my son and that didn't have any design flaws.

Boost Me (for free)

If you like the model please boost it for free - this supports my work and new Designs - Thank you! :)

The Model:

A set of carpet lift tracks - no limits on any edges! I created four different lifters:

70 mm Long 5 mm height difference
70 mm Long 8 mm height difference
80 mm Long 10 mm height difference
90 mm Long 15 mm height difference

Connector Fit

I did a lot of testing so this design uses my V2 Connectors - this Connector is compatible with all track manufacturers I know - If you have any problems feel free to get in touch with me!

Here you can see an example of the fit with Original Brio Tracks:

Please take a look at my collection of Brio train tracks, where I am gradually adding more models: https://makerworld.com/de/collections/4580026

Recommended Print Settings:

Recommended Material: PLA / PLA Matte

Layer Height: 0,2mm Standard

Wall Lines: 2

No support needed!

Notes

Please take care of the safety of the parts yourself! The files have no dangerous small parts - the parts are designed to be stable. However, the actual stability depends on your print settings and the filament used.

Other Issues:The male adapter fits well with IKEA tracks. Unfortunately the female adapter not so much, i think it can be fixed with some sanding though. Concept itself works great (would be perfect if it was double sided)

thank you for your comment - unfortunately there are some bigger tolerances in some IKEA Tracks - as you can see in all my Train Track models, for 99% of the users printing them - they work very well. But there are some tracks with completely different measurements. So I am very sorry but the problem depends not on the Models connector size, but on some rare Track dimensions out there...

Printed well but battery powered train have issue to ride on it - angle is too stepp and when front of train is lifted - rear powered wheel not contacting tracks so train get stucked there.

Looks great, it could just be a bit longer to allow for a flatter incline. The electric locomotives, whether Brio, Lidl or similar, get caught on the rear
