The monorail tracks are also solid now, which is not something you can do in injection molding but leaves
|
||||
a really nice surface finish at the bottom of the rail for us.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, I also use non-baseplate aligned joints for curves. While this means you can't just snap the rails
|
||||
on a baseplate, it enables you to use straight rails at non-90 degree angles which I think is an absolute
|
||||
win over the original design since the 45 degree curves are useless outside of joining them with switches.

_These are 3d printing optimized, compatible rails, not replicas. Replicas print horribly due to support._

What difference do these three studs make?
|
||||
With this radius we can take advantage of the pythagorean triples `3/4/5` and `7/24/25` to stay on the stud
|
||||
grid with turntables.

|

|
||||
Two C15 and one C7 make exactly a 90 degree turn, where every part stays on the stud grid.
|
||||
|
||||
An s-curve with C7 moves two studs, and can be extended by 1 stud
|
||||
with S7 or 3 studs with S21.
|
||||
|
||||
An s-curve with C15 moves over 20 studs, and can be extended by 8 studs
|
||||
with S6 or 28 studs with S21 straights.
