Getting into 3D printing opened up a whole new level of customization for my layout. No more hunting for rare parts—I just print what I need!
My first print was a small lineside tool shed, and I was hooked. Since then, I’ve tried my hand at custom signal boxes, freight crates, and even replacement coupler boxes that match vintage stock.
Curious—what was the first thing you printed for your layout? Are you designing your own parts or using shared files from sites like Thingiverse or Printables?
Let’s swap files, photos, tips, and printer recommendations. FDM or resin? Supports or no supports? Fail stories welcome too!
