I am looking for modern warehouse roll up dock doors to use on a few projects I am building for my layout. I can't find any in O scale and was thinking of using a 3 D printer to make a bunch if possible. Any of you know of roll up doors now available to modelers before I go and do the 3 D thing?

"Any of you know of roll up doors now available to modelers before I go and do the 3 D thing?"
Aren't they just a piece of corrugated material with some side tracks and a handle? Seems like 3D printing would be a very expensive way to get a simple item? ......DaveB
I looked on the berk site and didn't see any doors. Dave, you are right that it may be easy enough to make a door or two but cost wise for a few the parts may be more costly than buying 2 already made. I thought just buying 2 doors online vs the cost of driving many miles to a hobby shop that may or may not have the materials needed, the glue, $3+, to use once and then dry up vs. having the mail deliver a couple doors. Also i'd have to go somewhere to measure up a door. But it is a great idea if I had the fixings to spread out on the table to build.
Sir,
Peco's River Brass here on their site has them. But it seems they sold their O-Scale Structure line to Korber Models. (http://www.korbermodels.com)

Check out the new Scenic Express catalog. They have a few different Roll Up doors. They have a part number that begins with. I think WM. Assuming by some other items with the same. They were deigned by Westport Models and are made with resin.
berkshire valley part # 545 page 3 of unpainted detail parts.
Sir,
On the front page of the site of Peco's River Models is where it states they are sold to Korber Models. Have to search around.
