Re: track building
Not now. If I learn of a company that provides the web-hosting, production, and billing services that were provided by Shapeways, I might be able to make the ARMCO guard rail available. If I should ever want some produced for myself I might offer some for sale but that's unlikely.

Re: Best Wire for Building a Track
Very good Kim. Thank you for the pictures. Please let us know how you like the 1 mm wire. I have some that I plan to test soon.

That's 5 times what you pay for coiled wire Xavier! Xavier if I were to build a lo...

I started building track 10 years ago. I seem to remember having trouble using coiled music wire with soft foam insulation board (XPS). I think other people also had trouble with coiled wire. But I am not certain. Kim, how did you straighten the wire or get into the shape you wanted? If you are glui...

Best Wire for Building a Track
Do not use coiled wire or stainless steel wire. Use standard music wire, also called piano wire. Pieces around 1 meter long work best, especially for curves (corners). Pieces 1 ft long should work fine on straight sections of track. For cars weighing 65 grams with the battery and with a 3mm x 4mm st...

Re: Track routing with Maslow-cnc 0.7mm bit
Was the Maslow CNC method accurate enough to make a good track using 0.7mm dia wire? Or was the wire too high and too low in some spots?
