Hi,
I just purchased a Creality CR10 V2 from Amazon for $559.
I will be using it for my projects, railroad and otherwise.
I am currently printing: this SF cable car
This thread will document the journey.

Here is a time lapse video,
of the CR10 printing the top of the cable car top roof.
The files on Thingiverse claim it is about 1:48 scale.
I used Cura to scale it up to 1:32 and then slice it.
I uploaded to OctoPrint to make it and create the video.

I just finished printing a wheel assembly.
The diameter is approximately 0.75"
On the finished model I will have to use metal wheels/axles,
to allow adding considerable weight to keep it in the tracks I am going to run it in.
Specifically, I am modeling 3rd & Townsend depot with 1940's Daylight locos in Gauge-1.
The steep hill it will be on screams for cable cars going up and down.
I have no experience outside of G scale.
What scale rolling stock might I consider as a source of working wheel sets?

I use an Ender 3, also from Creality.
Your CR10 looks much beefier.
It’ll be interesting watching your project come together here.
The cable car looks like a good design and a fun project.
I tried going to your video of the roof being printed but it doesn’t come up.
May just be me.
I can’t tell from your pictures about the print quality.
Are you pleased with what’s coming out?
On my Ender 3,
it took me a while of fiddling with the software to get better prints,
but now I am blown away by what it can do.
I’ll enjoy watching what you do here.
Thanks for posting this.
Tom

Tom,
So far I am very pleased.
I know I have a LOT of fiddling to do with the software settings to get things perfect,
but that's part of the fun.
The main roof finished overnite, 8.5 hours:

Steve - looking good!
What are the dimensions of the roof?

Tom,
According to this link ,
the Powell Street cars are 27' long.
The main roof is 10-3/16" long, = 10.1875
It is 3 5/16" wide
10.1875 x 32 = 326"
326" / 12 = 27.167'
So I got it pretty close for Gauge-1
Steve

I asked about the size because my experience has been mostly small parts (1:48 scale),
with the largest being about 3” x 3”.
With the roof being that large I'm impressed with the time it took to print.
How big is the work surface? I’m limited to 12” x 12”
