45 Deg 1/64 Diecast Car Track - Flat

A 45 degree 1/64 Diecast Car Track, now setup to use traditional connectors PLA or PETG.  Models are designed to print with no support to minimize wasted filament. 4 are required for a 180deg turn! Unlike the 30deg models, these do not fit on a Toybox Alpha 2 (original design reason for 30deg version).

Printing

PETG - 0.18 layer height on 0.6 (or 0.4) nozzle, 15% gyroid infill, 2-3 walls, 2-3 top layers, IRONING ON ALL TOP SURFACES - at the very least for the inverse support pieces (only 1 layer required for walls/top/bottom layers for support pieces). The 0.25mm gap allows twisting and breaking off the support for like materials (Can use PLA as well, but PETG is more flexible). Works pretty well to break off currently. 

OR

PLA/PETG Mix - Use the non-banked part and use PLA for the inverse connector pocket bodies. PETG for the main track. I still recommend ironing the top of the supports. 

This can fit on an A1 Mini

• Orientation

  • I've optimized this to print flat. BUT it can be flipped up on the flat edge and printed like that with a brim around the base. Less supports is never a bad thing! I just prefer the better surface quality of it laying flat, with the built in supports. You do you!

UPDATE 2025/08/24

Further improvements:

• Flattened the connector pocket 

• Added relief for standard 1/64 Diecast Car Track straight connectors

• Again, IRON ALL TOP SURFACES on at least for the support pieces underneath

• Print Profile Added

NOTES

I probably have hundreds of hours perfecting these tracks, with dialed in connector areas and physical printing/testing. No more hokey custom connector pieces. Print with confidence!!
