Looking for a vertical elevated track support for a single track in 3D print file
Replies sorted oldest to newest
Hmm, concrete pier, Chicago El type, steel trestle, or maybe wood trestle style? We need some help to help you here....
I know there are some nice ones in the OGR 3D catalog?
It would be a steel upright. I downloaded the one, but it is Gar Graves
and it is for two tracks I need a single trap
Still trying to work on if I can make corrections to it or adjustments
There is a test print of what I’m trying to do. My printer won’t print it tall enough, which is not a big deal. I can always do concrete peers underneath it. The biggest thing is, I’m trying to make it for a single track. I can always adjust the width. Didn’t know if y’all had any ideas

Is there some reason you made the elevated track height that tall?
Personal preference no other reason, I’m not too worried about the height. I can always build up The bottom area is for the vertical of rights with a base
I also have a tuck under bridge that goes across the layout. I am 6 foot four and it meets my needs
I don't see any measurements... but, give this a go. Modified John's (Aegis21) file to fit single track.
Let me know if it fits.

Have you looked HERE?

Hey there Mr. 6'4"!
Got bored this morning. Here's an Adjustable one for you... Import into TinkerCad and then Copy it. Rotate the Copy 180 degrees and Align it.
Move one side Left or Right to the desired size, Group together... and, print.

Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. Thank you so much

Sorry for the late reply that’s where I got my test print from which is very helpful. The gentleman that updated the print file seemed to really help
Thank you everybody for their help on this.
It’s a great forum for what we do for fun
I didn't rotate it so that it prints on its head... so it doesn't require supports ...you need to do that.
Great,
Thank you
I never have used Tinker Cad.
Just dabbled in Fusion 360
Looking forward to trying it out.

I use 360 as well. Most folks here use TinkerCad... so, I try to explain/demonstrate using TinkerCad to reach out to the most members possible. Frankly, you can do an awful lot in TinkerCad and get a handle on CAD much quicker before moving to more robust programs.
Being new to 3D printing, I also use TinkerCAD. It's actually pretty surprising what you can do with it, I keep discovering new capabilities.
