Modelling H-Columns for Scratch Building 3D Design 3D print model

These designs came about after someone posted on Facebook that they were looking for designs for scratch-build materials like I-Beams, H Columns, Tubing, and Web Trusses.

I am looking at creating a set of designs for each type in various lengths (100mm, 200mm, and 300mm), the idea is to create the most common sizes first but with the ability to add other sizes depending on feedback (Please message me). They can be trimmed to the exact length you require after printing.I personally model railways in OO Gauge which is 1/76 scale and this is the scale of these designs, but these designs can be scaled up or down depending on your scale and what you model. Please contact me if you're having issues scaling and I will attempt to help you.

Depending on the items some designs might be best printed on an FDM printer but others on a Resin printer. With resin printers, the length might be limited to your build area size.

For the H Column design, the following sizes are included in 100mm, 200mm, and 300mm lengthsHeight x Width x Thickness (Real Life dimensions first followed by 1/76 dimensions).0.7m x 0.7m x 40mm = 9.2mm x 9.2mm x 0.7mm;0.5m x 0.5m x 30mm = 6.6mm x 6.6mm x 0.6mm;0.6m x 0.3m x 25mm = 3.94mm x 3.94mm x 0.5mm;

As normal with my designs, there is a balance between accuracy and printability, hopefully not affecting the look 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.
