Amtrak Acela 0 Gauge trainset

Beschreibung des 3D-Modells

We are proud to present our newest 0-Gauge, 3D-printable train set!

This model is inspired by the North American Amtrak Acela high-speed train, the fastest train with tilting technology in the United States.

Features of the Model

• Wi-Fi Remote Control: Operated via an ESP32 web server.
   
• Innovative Claw Couplers: The train can be pushed or pulled by the motorized power car.
   
• Detailed Interior: Includes seating and other features in the passenger car.
   
• Functional Pantograph: Mounted on the power car for added realism.
   

Printing Requirements

To print this model, you will need a minimum bed size of 300mm x 300mm.

All files are organized into folders by component, and we’ve included a detailed assembly manual that lists all necessary parts and provides step-by-step instructions.

Parts Needed

Mechanical Parts

• Roulade needles (to be cut to the correct length using side cutters; more details are provided in the manual).
   
• M3 machine screws (various lengths).
   
• M3 self-tapping screws (various lengths; optional but helpful).
   
• M2.5 screws (e.g., M2.5 x 6mm).
   
• M4 or M5 washers.
   
• Small kitchen rubber bands (used as tires to increase traction on the tracks).
   

Electronics

• DC Motor: Diameter of 28mm.
   
• ESP32 Wroom Microcontroller.
   
• Jumper wires: Male-to-female and female-to-female.
   
• Motor driver board: Featuring the L298N motor driver chip.
  
  • We recommend the Arceli Motor Driver Board, which includes an onboard DC-DC converter chip to transform the 9V supply voltage to 5V for the ESP32 microcontroller.
     
  • Example: ARCELI L298N Motor Drive Controller Board Module Dual H-Bridge (for Arduino projects).
     
• Arduino IDE: To program the ESP32 microcontroller.
   
• Soldering skills: Recommended for assembly.
