3D printing trains

Originally our idea with the tracks would be that the sphere’s would be stuck to a pole that would be in a track, but we already established that this would be too hard and expensive. Add that onto the down-scaling of our set-up we brainstormed other solutions.

Yanis suggested maybe making a small cart, like a little train, so we could wheel the planets down our track. I looked at Thingiverse for options to 3D print these trains as building them from scratch would be too hard to figure out and we didn’t have much time left to make it either at this point.

Yanis booked a 3D printer and was able to print one to test out, but it took a while to print. So I ordered it through the Click-and-Collect service at Minto House in the meantime, in case printing them ourselves would take too long as we were never able to book the right printer.
