    Evening all - figured I'd post a few designs that I have recently uploaded. First one is a 40m wind turbine blade, found here: 1:160 40m Wind Turbine Blade by samusi01 - Thingiverse

    It is split into two large parts for easier printing. An example of how they appear as loads:

    Secondly is a pipe reel load, found here: STL file 1:160 Pipe Reel Load ・3D printer design to download・Cults (cults3d.com). This is a quite delicate part to print as the sides are separate for easier printing.

    This is an example load, as seen on an 89' 100 ton flatcar:

    Finally I have a pressure vessel load, found here: STL file 1:160 Pressure Vessel Load ・Design to download and 3D print・Cults (cults3d.com)

    An example photo, not on a flat, apologies for the mess in the background: Note that these are a slightly higher detailed version than the link goes to; the linked version does not require any extra materials such as 0.9mm styrene rod for the small accessory pipes. If the high detail version is desired, I can upload it.

    I have uploaded a pair of loads: 115 ton pressure vessel load and a variety of wind turbine hub loads.

    115 ton pressure vessel - this load is 100' long and will need idler cars on either end of the flat. This load is based on images of loads seen on QTTX 132000 series flatcars. STL file 1:160 N Scale 115 ton pressure vessel load ・3D printable design to download・Cults (cults3d.com)

    Wind turbine hubs - typically seen on the same QTTX 132000 series cars but I have seen some versions loaded on other flatcars. STL file 1:160 N Scale Wind Turbine Hub Loads ️ ・3D printing model to download・Cults (cults3d.com)

    WOW, really nice. Your printer appears to be dialed in perfectly.

    Merely an Elegoo Saturn 2 using more or less out of the box settings in chitubox (I’ve made a couple of small tweaks, maybe six months ago?) and their 8k resin. Nothing special at all.
