ABOUT THIS 3D MODEL
Great Scott! Are you telling me that you made a 3D printing model… out of a Jules Verne Train Locomotive?!
In the finale of the western-themed Back to the Future Part III Doc Brown introduces Marty and Jennifer to his new family including his wife and sons Jules and Verne. As one would obviously expect, the Browns choose to arrive riding the most unusual of vehicles - a Jules Verne-themed time-travelling train! The “Hollywood star locomotive”, namely the archetypal 19th century USA steam locomotive Sierra Railway No. 3 was chosen to embody Doc’s ultimate invention that we are now happy to feature in Gambody’s time-travelling category!
By using the components of THE hoverboard from 2015, and his extensive scientific knowledge and experience, Doc equipped a steam locomotive with a flux capacitor that was able to store loads of jigowatts required for time travel. Inspired by a “steampunky” retrofuturistic nature of the Jules Verne locomotive, our contributing 3D artist prepared an exquisite 3D printing Time Train worthy of joining any collection! The Train Time Machine sports two pairs of wings, rotating coil, propeller, and anemometer, and of course "ELB" logo on each side after train’s creator Emmett Lathrop Brown.
ADAPTATION FOR 3D PRINTING
Jules Verne Train Locomotive 3D printing model is a highly detailed assembly model and its moderation and adaptation for different types of 3D printers took Gambody team 120 hours in total. In order to preserve the accurate likeness of the original Sierra No. 3 ‘The Movie Star locomotive’ as well as the modified movie Jules Verne “ELB” Train, the model was divided into many parts that are to be assembled as if a real locomotive. Taking into account the willingness of our customers to make their 3D printing projects as true to life as possible, Gambody team worked on the highly-articulated assembly of the locomotive that presupposes active runninggear and a variety of movable elements.
Thus, various special mechanisms were introduced into the model to make sure that the parts comprising the running gear, as well as the details of the frame, body, and the cab’sinterior, are both authentic and highly functional (please, see "Versions' specifications", "Assembly video" and photo preview slider).
The cutting of the model was chosen to ensure the cleanest 3D printing result possible and to minimize the amount of material needed to print the generated support, e.g. locomotive’s cowcatcher, headlamp, bell, drive rods, flux capacitor, chimneys, and many more parts come as separate STL files.
All assembly parts are provided in STL files of FFF/FDM version in recommended positions that were worked out in order to ensure the smoothness of the details’ surfaces after printing and so that the 3D printing beginners won't face difficulties when placing the parts on a build plate. We highly recommend that you get acquainted with the “Assembly video” and "Assembly Manual" before getting down to the Jules Verne Train Locomotive model.
The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.The model’s scale was calculated from the length of the Sierra No. 3 locomotive which is 14336 mm. The 3D printing model’s chosen scale is 1:32 for the FFF/FDM version and 1:64 for the DLP/SLA/SLS version.

These settings are optimized specifically for this 3D model, but please note they may need slight adjustments depending on your printer or filament. When in doubt, refer to your printer's user manual.
To avoid printing issues and achieve the best quality, we highly recommend applying the following settings:
For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.

This field is filled in according to your printer specifications when you add it to the slicer.
You can add custom G-code here for the start and end of the print. However, be careful - this is for advanced users only!
You have to calibrate your printer using Ge retraction test models
Retraction Length: For direct-drive setups use 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm; for Bowden extruders use 5 to 7 mm
This is how fast the filament is pulled back—40-60 mm/s for direct drive and 30-50 mm/s for Bowden setups.
You have to calibrate this parameter: Reduce it until the printer starts to hit the parts with the nozzle during printing, then increase it by 0.2.
For better quality use 0.12 mm layer height, for fast printing use 0.2 mm layer height. For pins and the Ge connectors, use 0.2 layer height.
120-150% of your Layer Height
To increase the strength of the print parts, use wall line count: 3
For pins and connectors use 50% Infill
These parameters are for standard PLA plastic. If you are using a different type of plastic, check the printing temperature recommended by the manufacturer. Also, read the description on your filament spool. For fast printers, add +30 °C to the current parameters.
The parameters in this tab vary greatly, it all depends on the quality of your printer. For example, if you have a classic Ender3, stick to the minimum parameters, but if you have a newer printer, for example Anycubic cobra 3 v3, you can select the maximum recommended values
Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
You need to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test models. These values are average values for a Direct Drive extruder; for a Bowden extruder, the values should be increased.
Use this value other than 0 if your nozzle catches on the internal infill during travel moves. Try to keep this value as low as possible in height.
Use normal supports to support large, straight surfaces (most mechanical or technical parts).
You have to calibrate this parameter according to the capabilities of your printer and your filament, using a Gambody test models.
Use 1 instead of 0 if your supports are thin and tall. They will be harder to remove, but much stronger.
Top Z distance = 1-1.3 layer Height. If the supports are hard to remove, try increasing this setting by 0.1-0,4 mm

Settings for advanced users, change these parameters only if you have sufficient 3D printing expertise. Use the minimum value for outdated printers without acceleration calibration, and the maximum value for modern printers if you need it.
These settings only work for 3D printers with multiple extruders
You can try setting all parameters in this section, except the First layer, to values between 0.75% of your nozzle diameter and 1.25% of your nozzle diameter. Adjusting them will help you work out the optimal parameters for the best quality for your print. As for the First layer, you can set it to 150% of the diameter of your nozzle for better adhesion to the build plate (for a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4 mm, the First layer extrusion width can be from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm)
For better printing quality you have to calibrate this parameter using Gambody test model.
Check your filament manufacturer's temperature recommendations on the spool.
Cooling parameters depends on the material you use for printing.
