Another Train Track Collection…. But Wait!There are already many tracks and track sets for the typical wooden train suppliers such as Brio, Hape, Ikea Lillabo etc.So why did I design my own tracks? Well, many of the rails already available are based on the designs of wooden rails optimized for machining. These are therefore only suitable for 3D printing to a limited extent.As I have already tried out several different rails and printed numerous other designs myself, I knew that there was a lot of potential for improvement here!The tolerances of the connectors often don't fit very well either.So I sat down to do it myself, because I wanted to have rails that were fun for me and my son and that didn't have any design flaws. Key featuresSo what makes my rail designs so special? All rail profiles were drawn by myself! I started with a blank sheet of paper everywhere. All profiles were carefully measured to find a good middle ground between the different manufacturer tolerances.care
