Passenger Car Upgrade with 3D printed seats and LED lighting.

Your modifications really look nice.  Do you own your own printer?  Could you take a photo of the pcb you use?  How do you adjust the brightness?  Thx for the help in advance.

Have you thought about making those passenger seats available for sale to the forumites here?

Would the seats fit Lionel traditional size Polar Express passenger cars or other Lionel Baby Madison coaches?

Very cool, there are tons of cars that would benefit from some interiors, nice job!

Nice work Carl. Really adds a whole new look to a silouette car. I agree, you could probably sell those interior seating kits. There have been several posts in recent months where people have asked if interior kits are available for sale.

What did you use for clear windows?

My wife gave me a Prusa I3 MK3 3D printer for Christmas.  It is rated as the best 3D printer under $1000 and it is a great printer.  I use generic PLA filament that I have purchased on eBay and from Prusa.  The forum has been very valuable to me with the sharing of information and I want to give back.  I will send the .stl CAD file for the seats that can be used by most CAD programs and 3D Printer software to anyone who sends me an email request.  I used Tinkercad.com for the design of the seats.  It is a simple, free, on-line CAD tools.  I will also send the Diptrace PCB files for the LED power.  Diptrace is a good PCB design software that is free for hobbyist doing smaller PCB designs.  The PCB is based on Gunrunnerjohn's constant current LED driver design.  I used a 240 Ohm resister in the passenger car shown.  The windows are open.  I have not decided if they are really needed.  So far the only reason I can think of is to keep dust out of the interior.  If I do add windows I would like to be able to ink print blinds on the plastic windows.  Since I still have a full time job I don't have time to turn this into a business.  There are to many new ideas I want to try.

Good job Carl, on both the upgrade and giving back by sharing your developments.
