CONVEYOR BELTS KIT
in HO SCALE 1/87

REALISTIC ANGLE IRON DETAIL, ASSEMBLY SUPPORT STAND, FOLDING COMPONENTS

This is a KIT for realistic Conveyor Belts to go with any industry.  Designed for our sawdust burners, this is no ordinary kit, mind you. The parts are printed from PLA, polylactic acid, 3-D printer filament material. Individual belt "sections" are scale 20 feet long in HO. I pack more than one belt in the box, and more than one type: you get the "Fancy Modern" version and also a "Old Timer's" version, so there are multiple options.

Update 01/03/24: Kit includes eight 20-foot sections of "Fancy Modern" type belt frames and six 20-foot "Old Timer's" sections for a whopping 160 + 120 = 280 potential feet of conveyor belts!  Good night!

I've posted the instructions are in the photos. Plus, there's a video, somewhere.

Several important points here about working with PLA:

1) Many parts are folding. This is a big advantage over gluing individual styrene parts. You don't have to hold them in place. 

2) You have several options for connecting PLA parts: CA, Canopy Glue, or weld it with a Variable Temperature Soldering Iron.

 "WELD??" You say? YES! with an ordinary variable-temp soldering iron, PLA, with it's comparatively low melting point, lends itself well to spot- and bead-welding, in HO scale if you will! If you try this kit,you may in fact acquire a valuable new skill (if you can even call it a skill, it is so easy to do), that you can use and will want to use for making so many other model structures on your layout.  You will say to yourself, "The sky is the limit now".

     Enough of this blabber! You've seen the photos, but how difficult is it to make? Well, first check out the instructions above. You'll see that I've made it easier to build on the incline by including a special stand that holds the end legs in place vertically.  You then have your hands free to add the legs on the ends. Let that dry, come back and place the middle legs on the alignment guides. Piece of cake. Use one of the two ribbons included for belt.

I've included three 3D printed sections of each of two different kinds of belts I've seen - "Fancy Modern" and "Old Timer's". Enough legs in the kit to make them both!  You'll be moving plenty of goods in no time.

All Belt Units are 20.4 feet each. One kit will get you 60 feet of Fancy Modern style + 60 feet of Old Timer's style = total 120 feet of transportation of dry goods!!!!  Customization? That's what the kit's for. You find plenty of "angle iron" you can use to strengthen and customize to your heart's content. 

Be wary of low production rates on your pike. These fine belts will greatly speed things up, alleviating undue stress on your crew.

Don't forget! Conveyor Belt goes great with the SAWDUST BURNER.

You've known me for the quality handmade trees I've made.  Now I'm stirring the pot!   :)

Cheers!
