Hi Guy's
I've just purchased a wagon kit with paper reel off eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/009-Wagon-with-Reels-of-paper-load/324426132033?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3Da5b934290fd54b34a34570c6ea1b129a%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D324426132033%26itm%3D324426132033%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507
And was wondering if any of the members had built any and are they any good thanks in advance
Thanks

Hi, I've not built this particular wagon, but have built a caged wagon with barrel load from the same supplier. Not up to the same standards as dundas kits, the 3d print is a little rough and brittle, but with some very careful cleaning up a nicely running, presentable wagon was produced. Best advice is give it a go. 😊
Here is a shorter link to the e-bay item:

I have seen this makers items called 'Basketweave' models because of the very obvious 3d printing marks on the surfaces.
You may also find that any round items, like the paper reels for example area not round but are a series of flat surfaces.
It looks like whoever this is making these is either using a first generation 3d printer, or has it set on a setting for increased speed with less detail.
But that is reflected in the price. In general you get what you pay for with 3d prints as the ones that have better detail take a lot longer to print.
Hi Guys
Cheers for the reply's
Thanks
