I wanted to couple Märklin Gauge 1 cars to LGB cars. So I designed a compatible coupler to fit on a LGB body mount. The design is simplified but the coupler can rotate and be lifted like in the original design. The coupler needs support and Cura can't provide suitable ones. So there are 2 files one with and one without support. You can choose the one that suits you better. I've printed everything with ABS (0.1 mm layer height and 50% infill).   To assemble the coupler you'll need a spring. The diameter of the spring is quite important or it won't do its job correctly. The spring must have a diameter of 5.8 mm and a length of 13 mm (less critical). Two 2x8 mm screws are also needed to keep the cover in place.

I began in the 3D world several years ago. I had bought first a Velleman K8200 kit. Made some nice things with it after a lot of upgrades. Now I have a K8400 and more recently I bought a Prusa I3 MK2. Both give nice results. Lately I've added an Artillery Sidewinder X1 and 2 resin printers (Proton and Mono-X). Most of the fun is designing your own projects and then bringing them to life by printing them. ATM I found a new hobby and I'm mostly designing stuff for a 1/32 garden railway.
