Hello friends! Me again!

Let me introduce you the gingerbread Christmas train! Probably my most ambitious Christmas project to date!

I will say it right from the start, this one was a tough one for me! But i am totally in love with the result and i can't be more happy with the final look!!!

The reason it was so tough, its because i wanted to make it really easy for you. So i had a lot of work to do to make things clear, define orientations and prevent any confusion. I must admit that i was a bit confused myself during the project, so i didnt want that to happen to you!

At a certain time, i had to redo a complete set of instructions because i made a mistake. With over 50 exploded views for the instructions in three different folders, its useless to say that it was a bit demanding. 😅

Like many other projects here:

-All the files are support free

-All the files can be printed with a regular printer

-All the files have color coded names with quantities

-All the files are already placed in the right orientation for printing

-Will fit on a Prusa Mini or BambuLab A1 Mini bed

-Bambulab 3mf files included in the folders.

There's a lot to say about this project, but most of the info has been included directly into the instructions. So read them carefully, don't hesitate to look a few steps ahead and (please) make some dry fit checks (without glue) during the whole project.

In the dropbox, you will find a folder with a huge amount of files. I strongly recommend that you make this project step by step, one item at a time. There's three parts in this project: The locomotive, the Candy Wagon (center) and the Wagon.

Start with the Wagon first. It will make the things much easier, and you will have some experience to do the candy wagon next.

For the signage and other multicolor files, all of them are made to be printed with some color change at height. So it is printable on any kind of printer. If you are not familiar with color changes at a specific height, send me a private message and i will help you with pleasure!

FOR THE BAMBULAB USERS:

3mf files are included in the folders. Be careful, some files are optional if you are using an ams or not. But its well indicated on the buildplates.

THERE'S A SMALL HOLE INSIDE THE CHIMNEY! Yep, and its there for a good reason: Insert a piece of steel wire into it and use some wadding (don't know if its the right term in english) to create a nice smoke column like my marvelous wife did on ours! The effect will be amazing, believe me!

FILAMENTS I'VE USED ON THIS PROJECT:

-BEIGE: D3D Filament - PREMIUM MATTE PLA Kraft

-RED: POLYMAKER - POLYTERRA Army red

-GREEN: BAMBULAB - PLA BASIC Green

-BLACK: POLYMAKER - POLYTERRA Charcoal black

-WHITE: GRATKIT - PLA White

-CLEAR: SPECTRUM FILAMENTS - PLA PREMIUM Translucent

Again, if you have any kind of questions, i'm always there to help you! I wasnt quite available in the last days for personal reasons, but i will be more present in the days to come!

I hope i didnt forget something. If its the case, don't hesitate to flag me any error!

Have fun my friends!!! Pascal
