Next up on the Elegoo - I was asked if I could replicate the Trainphone antenna stands for Lionel J1a. I tried it out on my FDM Creality Ender. Not totally awful until I tried making the kickstand. This actually pushed me to get the resin printer this week. I also tried to make the inductors with stands. This is awesome man, I am pretty stoked. I envision making lots of neat things soon.
Comparison with my beloved Creality Ender FDM prints:

Now this is the type of detail work I'm interested in seeing people use a resin printer for! I need to get me one.
Norm, did you model those hairpin railings yourself?
Norm, I can send you the stl file for a receiver coil that I had printed with a resin printer. If you want it.
Here's a rendering of the part:
And here is one of them on a K-Line RS-3 that I detailed.
Bob, I may take you up on that! I made mine to match the Lionel J1a parts. They are pretty simple. These were my FDM attempts:
Slugger, yes I doodled these up in Tinkercad. These are based off some Protocraft parts I have. I need to make a field trip to Pittsburgh and measure some of the real deals someday soon.
Norm,
Very nice once again. Those PRR railings are A+.

Norm,
I have a couple of the real PRR railing stanchions. If you need dimensions let me know what you need.
Thanks for the offer Joe! I did find the drawings for them online.

OK Norm. Do you have a beer refer for every one of the bottles in your avatar?
Asking for a friend.

Norm,
What an awesome thread. PRR detail parts being 3D printed? Count me in!!!!!

Norm,
Does our typical train modeling paint (like Model Master, Testor's, Tamiya, etc.), easily adhere to 3-D printed items, like the railings?
The railings really look sharp.

Haha, that was me trying to learn the proper Guinness pouring technique at the tour in Dublin. I might be better at making them disappear!

I spray bombed a couple of the poles I'm working on with that 2X primer and some Rustoleum Camo Brown. It seemed to like the Camo flat best. That 2X stuff stays tacky for too long. I figure if the flat camo sticks to it then I might use it as primer.
Very impressive! A great use for a 3D printer.
