3D-printing wooden railway hobbyists
Worth noticing
The page recommends PLA at 0.2 mm layers, no supports, and a small fit-test print.

Field notes

The editor starts with a circle or square and lets users tap two connection points, assigning male or female ends before inspecting the part in 2D or 3D. It exports an STL; the page says its default dimensions are based on IKEA Lillabo and Brio tracks printed and tested repeatedly, while allowing every size to be adjusted. Printing guidance specifies PLA, 0.2 mm layers, no supports, and a small test print to check connector fit.
