I had been thinking of doing these designs for a while but recently whilst working on the clubs model railway I needed some extra detail for the platforms and the roads so it was time to do these designs.
These designs are a collection of designs seen at stations and around where I work. The designs are a collection of manhole and drain covers and vary in sizes, please see photos for more detail.These designs are quite small and only suited for resin printing, some of the detail is really small so a good quality resin printer is ideally needed (14K standard or above to get best quality prints). The detail is in the design even if not fully seen when printed, good eyesight will see it.There are 9 different designs in this collection: 3 water drain covers, 5 manhole covers and a fire hydrant cover. The designs come in two thicknesses 1mm and 2mm.
These items has been designed at OO gauge, 1/76 scale.for HO gauge print at 87%, 1/87 scale,for O gauge UK print at 175%, 1/43.5 scale,for O gauge American print at 158%, 1/48 scale,for N Gauge UK print at 51.5%, 1/148 Scale, (Caution: I have not test printed this in N gauge scale).
The example in the pictures was printed on an AnyCubic Mono 4 Ultra 3D resin printer.I recommend printing these on a 3D resin printer to get the best print definition.As per normal with my designs, there is a balance between accuracy and printability, hopefully not affecting the look of the model too much.
