Nigel, i hope you are printing the tracks as we speak.

Not this very minute, carrying out some maintenance on the printer, but once that's done I'm going to have a go at them Smile

Got the printer up and running again - long story, but basically trouble with a stripped thread and a dodgy thermistor lol

So, first test print running now, just the first layer down on this shot;

Got two complete curves printed now (i.e. 2 x Tops and 2 x Bottoms), need to get some M2*4 bolts and nuts to join them together (that's what the holes are for it seems) although they should also be glued.  Fit together nicely.  So who thinks they need some of these?

Looks great Nigels.

Looks good.  

My only concern is how well the engines (especially the revolution) can run on these tracks?  there are no ridge lines inside the tracks like the traditional tomy tracks have.
