Take the restaurant, block up half the windows, add it to the back of the tire center and it would make a good modern fire station. That is if the bays are big enough. Interesting design.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the 3D printing videos. Have you done a segment on making the brick pattern, I didn’t find it on your channel. I liked to try an HO brick wall on my Mars Pro and your pattern looks like a good starting point.
I love bloopers! Also love that you're making money for your hobby by selling 3D printed structures! I'd love to do that with my Cricket, but haven't done anything with it yet! You could make HO scale tool boxes, tire racks, tools, air compressors and about any detail part and sell them?
Nicely done. Didn't know Tinkercad had that in it. I tend to ignore Tinkercad in favor of F360 or others. Time to take another look. hmm... maybe a series on using Tinkercad???
I have now purchased virtually every one of the building series and must say they are wonderful. My latest receipt was a 3 pack of the row houses and I'm awaiting building #6 to arrive. I have two minor suggestions - first on all store front doors it would be helpful to open them the same way you do the other windows. Most store fronts would have glass in their front doors. I have been opening the window areas myself but it's a bit of a pain. For anyone desiring to have a solid door with no glass they could easily glue in either card stock or thin styrene. My other suggestion is for the new oil and tire center. Having the raised lettering does not seem to be a feature to me. Full disclosure, I will not be purchasing that building as it doesn't really fit within the city scene I am building but I would imagine that an average modeler would want to add a business sign of their choice whether that be a modern quick lube such as Tire Center, Jiffy Lube, etc. or a private named business such as Billy's Auto. Having raised lettering would require removal of the lettering prior to applying a different sign. Please keep creating new buildings. You're doing a terrific job. Dave
That is a great building. It would be neat if you could make the block detail on the inside walls too. I wish you could do it in ho scale. I'd very much like to have one. All your buildings are very nice. Stay well. -Wil 👍
I definitely would, but I can't pump enough light in my shop to make f/16 work and I shoot on panasonics which are not the greatest in low light. One of my channel upgrades for this upcoming year will hopefully be to migrate to Sony since their low light and autofocus are unmatched at the mid tiers.
I'm just thinking of getting back into model RR after a long hiatus. I'm now in the middle of the N Pacific Ocean (Hawaii) and shipping to here either takes forever, or is expensive if not Flat Rate USPS. Have you considered selling your files so that one could print themselves. I am very aware that the work is in the design and not in the printing so I would suggest maybe 75% of spoiled print cost. I looked up your patron site and unless they are in the high tier I did not see and designs. Mahalo
Why does the tire shop walls look warped when you show it up close? The base looks warped as well. Just curious. Also, did you design the brink template for TinkerCAD or was that something you found online? And if you found it online, can you tell me where you found it. Never seen a template like that before. Thanks.
So the print was the first print and it warped slightly printing. That's a support issue and it's one thing that is part of my finalization process before I sell. I actually made the brick template in tinkercad myself and downloaded it as an stl so I can load it in any time. I also know the scale so I can adjust for different scales.
It's both a support issue, but more a resin problem. These resins do shrink as they cure and 'dry' out over time. The thicker the cross section, the more warpage that will result. Thick walls like these are going to warp. That's just a fact of life. If you heat them up in hot water, you can bend them back and further so when they do cure they might be mostly straight. Making the walls much thinner and reinforcing with styrene afterwards will help a lot. But just get used to it. These resins are not meant to be used in this way so we have to accept their limitations.
LET ME TRY AGAIN I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER 3 OF EACH OF YOUR BUILDING AND 2 OF THE FACTORY OF YOUR OTHER BUILDING TIRE SHOP FUEL DEALER HELP TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN I REALLY LIKE ALL I HAVE SEEN NOW TO BUY THEM I MODEL HO SCALE I WENT TO SPENCER AND BOUGHT MY FIRST N GAUGE ENGINE SOME ROLLING STOCK READY TO BUILD WITH YOU WHEN YOU START YOUR NEXT LAYOUT IM TRYING TO FINISH UP 2 LAY OUT NOW THANK YOU
You may have already implemented this but I would be grateful if there was no background music. It makes it hard to hear your commentary sometimes. Good vid otherwise. Thank you for doing it.
You're running into limitations of 3D resin printing. Unless you go for the very expensive engineering resins, then what you have there will shrink and distort over time after curing. It's a fact of life and it takes a lot of work to prevent it. Can't have solid walls as you're doing since that actually encourages and makes it worse. You can go with hollowed out backs of the walls and then add styrene to reinforce it afterwards. Hot water will help soften the resin walls and let you clamp them into straight sections again. Figure you're going to spend several hours per structure fixing the issues. Keep that in mind in your costs as your structures will have to be increased dramatically in prices if you account for your time involved. Either that, or keep them cheap, let them warp and include instructions on how to help fix these issues. Chooch Enterprises had similar issues with their resin castings. It's not the printer, it's the material that is the problem. Just the nature of the product. You will get warpage. You just have to know how to plan and account for it.
Great video..How did you make and use your brick templates and can you make a tutorial on how you do this in tinkerCAD ?

Hi Jimmy I think this is one of my favorites. Really nice. Thanks again for your contributions

I LIKE YOUR YOUR 3D BULIDING CAN NOT TO BUY
Its impressing how you made this in tinkercad. I cant make squat in it and always go back to fusion.
You are doing really good on those building keep up the great work
I like this oil and tire center. I model both N & HO scales, any possibly that you will make an HO version of this building?
Very impressive! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing!
Jimmy, when is this going to your store? Can't wait!
I need Dramamine to watch this...
Would you recommend the Woodland Scenic "Just Plug" lighting system?
And building 7 reminds me of a DPM kit

Stone template would be interesting.
Looking great. Thanks for sharing
Great building. Nicely done.
Can you do a video on making siding templates? I want to make brick and clapboard templates.
Looks like I missed the 10k subscriber giveaway by about 20k. Congrats!
I love your printing, what printer did you use to print the gas station and do you think i could get the same detail result on a Ender-3 V2 3D Printer
Looks great Jimmy....thanks for sharing....Jack
Very cool, Jimmy.
That is a great building. It would be neat if you could make the block detail on the inside walls too. I wish you could do it in ho scale. I'd very much like to have one. All your buildings are very nice.
Stay well. -Wil 👍
what scale? what scale is the print/printer set too?
You’re doing great work!
Filming tip: to get everything in the close-up shots in focus, use a camera f-stop like ~f/16.
I definitely would, but I can't pump enough light in my shop to make f/16 work and I shoot on panasonics which are not the greatest in low light. One of my channel upgrades for this upcoming year will hopefully be to migrate to Sony since their low light and autofocus are unmatched at the mid tiers.
Where is this brick template from, or how did you make it?
Fantastic!
Where did you get the brick templet that you used?
The software is very similar to Sketchup. Can a Sketchup file be used with your 3D printer?
Pardon my ignorance, but I can’t seem to find out how to purchase any of your buildings. Please advise if in fact any are available. Thanks
Hello! Right now I am waiting on more printer supplies to be able to put buildings back on sale.

Hey Peter! Sorry for taking so long to reply. The buildings are available at the $5 engineer level.

@@DIYDigitalRailroad That's sweet! I'm trying to make something similar in Solidworks and its always crashing my system.
That's a nice building and accessories, but it needs lifts to raise the cars.
I HAVE A PRUSA MINI CAN I GET A STL FILE
Why did you speed the video up?

Guys, someone ordered Count Dooku on wish.
Watching the screen recording in ffw is making me nauseous 🤢
