After producing my first batch of scratch-building designs I was asked to produce this design. H-Column crosses are commonly found in industrial buildings to strengthen walls and most of the time you can see them within buildings.
This item has been produced from my H-column designs and using my smallest size H-Column, the ends 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.
This item is best printed on a 3D resin printer to get the details of the nuts and bolts.
The H Column Cross uses 2x100mm H-ColumnsHeight x Width x Thickness of H Column (real-life dimensions first followed by 1/76 dimensions).0.3m x 0.3m x 25mm = 3.94mm x 3.94mm x 0.5mm;
As per 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.
