Model Railway - Flange Lubrication and Reservoir 3D print model

Track lubrication reservoirs are used on modern railways to reduce rail and wheel wear and also reduce wheel squeal and flanging noise.

This is a representation of the Whitmore Lubricurve Reservoir. I was unable to get the exact measurements of this item despite contacting Whitmore so this is a close match for their reservoir.

This item has been designed at OO gauge, 1/76.2 scale. For HO Gauge print at 87%, 1/87 Scale, For O Gauge UK print at 175%, 1/43.5 scale, For O Gauge International 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). Note: Despite this being designed at OO Scale it is used on HO Scale track.

Examples in the photos were printed on an AnyCubic Photon M3 Resin Printer

I recommend printing this item on a 3D resin printer to get the best resolution print, in OO this is quite a small item so some of the detail might not show when printed. As per normal with my designs, there is a balance between accuracy and printability, hopefully not affecting the design of the model too much.

The main resins I use for printing can be found with my affiliated links below. I use AnyCubic Water Washable Resin for most of my items but use AnyCubic ABS Like Resin for anything that needs to be stronger and tougher.
