so.
I need to dig up a truck title I have SOMEwhere and then this pictures worth of stuff to work on
tyco horn hooks that I am trying to improve/replicate, with testing in trucks for comparison
0.2mm nozzles for one of my 3d printers to make higher detail prints
need to measure and print some turnout control extender plates, as I am missing some and all my ten wheelers keep derailing on them(takes about 6 laps to do so)
block and turnout control panel, had to redesign so I can fit all the screws in and still isolate them
oh, and a handle for that lil hammerhead I found. don't need it, no other reason other than it is an incomplete tool
plus there is things like dishes, laundry, fortnite
bonus picture of my engine fleet so far. all auctions complete, paid and delivered. later on I'll take one of the 76 ten wheelers and get it complete as possible, other ten wheelers are for parts (all run)

Forget dishes. Wear your cleanest dirty shirt. Does the ten derail in the
same spot(s)? If yes, try replacing that section of track. Sometimes
it's a slight warpage that creates an uneven surface, not readily seen
from above. Not uncommon with used track, getting bent slightly when
removed.

yes, right where the cattle catcher and the cast cylinders bump the screws on the turnout motors
oh and on that big 76 diesel too
but only on the turnouts without the extender plates
almost as if they designed them for a reason ;)

nah, this should be a printed part, as originals will eventually disappear
already done, but "disaster", my new 3d printer is clogged, and it shouldn't be
give me an excuse to swap nozzles on my smaller one and other general maintenance
as you can see, i've been busy

oh, FYI, it is upside down
also, I've added sacrificial parts to it to make it print easier, yes I know that those walls to the box should not be there

quick update
tried to start a 12 hour print last night of control panel, was low on plastic filament so decided to open up a new fresh roll
nozzle clogs :(
test prints below
far right was from last night
this morning did a lot of cleaning and got the white one to work, trying black plastic now
so I guessed bad filament (I hope not) so I put it in the "fine detail" printer(just installed new tiny nozzle today))
and printed a test block at half size
which had the cooling fan plugged in backwards causing warping(2nd from left)
so then I printed again and realized it was set to high speed printing, causing vibration shadows
so more tuning, then testing, then back to printing
(FYI laundry drying, dishes done, made progress in fortnite, maybe on my 52nd B-day I'll start playing minecraft)

I found two perfect uncoupling ramps last night, during a track
inventory. I'm going to list them on eBay and hope for $5.
