Please add me to the list of potential buyers - I'd order a few packs for my grubby little corner of south east London.

i've been following this thread with passive interest - I'll never take up 3D printing myself but am very interested in other folks' adventures in 3D.

Now, I feel that I ought to commit to 1x pack each in white of flat bottom and sloping bottom. I have no idea, or even hazy dream of when I might use them, but I like to support this sort of initiative and they'll fill a corner of the stash drawer.

:beers:

Hi Ken

I'm still waiting for a PM from Ross to say he is ready to produce them (post 1st December) and then we can go from there.

Work has been kicking my butt again. 100+ hour weeks since I got back on my feet. Today is the last day for this year though! Woo hoo!

My current plan is to take Wed/Thur/Fri off with SWMBO, to try to decompress a little, and then I'll take another look at these after Xmas.

Hi Ross,

There's no urgency for these so take your time!

Hi
Would you be interested in just selling the Print file so that us in the uk could print our own?

Hello Ross,

Appreciate you're very possibly still tied up with other things, but just wondered if there was any further progress with the chairs and if you had a rough idea when they might be available?

Thanks,

Mark

Yeah, I got a prompt over on my RTS thread too and just noticed how long it has been since I was last on here.   Not good and apologies to all!

I'm going to see what I can do this weekend to get both these and the RTS into a state ready to start taking orders and shipping.

If you don't hear anything from me by the middle of next week, please *DO* bug me about it :)

Hi

Wouldn't be hard to draw these up in CAD, if you want to go down this route its probably only about half hours work if that. 

I'm not going to do any research but if your want an STL file PM me details and dimensions of the chairs and I'll post the STL on here.

Hope that helps ease the frustration!

These are finally going back into production this week, so I'll shortly be pinging everyone who has expressed interest and getting orders setup.

I was going to put them on Shapeways, but I've decided that I really don't like their business practices, so I'll be setting up my own online shop for these and some of my other wares.

Now that most of my Gresley RTS kits have shipped and my printer is finally free to print other things again, these 3rd rail chairs are now back into production!

I'll ping everyone who has already expressed interest in these chairs by PM over the next few days.   If you want to add your interest please PM me!

If it's okay, I'd prefer to move discussion about the chairs over to my Workbench thread: https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=50131.0 just to keep everything in one place :)

Just a final note to anyone who has been following this thread and hasn't been watching my workbench thread, the 3rd Rail Chairs are now, finally, for sale!  :laugh3:

Sorry for such a long delay on these!

Please PM me if you are interested.

Further updates should be on my Wokbench thread please: https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=50131.0

Cheers,

Ross.
