Why make this?
A simple pack of replacement rails to take the place of existing Plarail parts, or connect seamlessly to them.
I live in Canada, where it's rather difficult to get Plarail. Thus, I made these! Nice, quick and easy - much cheaper than importing!
How to use?
All the rails should be able to take the place of the equivalent Plarail Track, save for the Auto Y*.
*This track has no equivalent in Plarail, but still fits into the system well. (More information below)
All tracks other than the straights will have to be mirrored, as the tracks are only single-sided. This was to make printing easier by cutting down on the amount of bridging & increasing bed area.
The cutouts in the end of each track are to allow for the J-14 Block Bridge Girder to connect.
(Admittedly, I don't have any girders to check... BUT from what I can tell from images & other models I can find online they should work)
The direction deciders on the switch rails should move freely and smoothly (E.g. with gravity)
Start with the V2.1 switches, and if the decider falls out too easily, use the V2.0 switches. (The blade is the only part that's changed, so feel free to use Split to Objects)
Weight & Cost
Below is a table of weight and costs, using Elegoo Rapid PETG on my Prusa MK4s.
Take this with a grain of salt though, as every printer + material is different!
Track | Weight (g) | Aprox. cost (¢, CAD) |
|---|---|---|
Full Straight | 21 | 41 |
Curve | 17 | 37 |
Switch | 31 | 69 |
Auto Y | 28 | 62 |
Some notes for the Auto Y switch
This is a unique track I created for myself, based on R-12 Figure Eight Point Rail and the old "Automatic" Y-Type Rail. the idea is any train entering from the single-entry side will always be diverted to the left exit, while trains entering from the opposite sides will smoothly merge into the one track. (The example in the gif and images is mirrored to divert trains right) From my experience, trains bump over it fairly smoothly without issue. (Some engines with more unique wheel arrangements like Edward may struggle, but I don't have examples to test with)
