3D Printing a Railway Pump Car

tech

Two makers have used three-dimensional printing to create a functional, miniature version of a classic railway pump car. As Hackaday tells it, the project recreates the traditional seesawing beam mechanism that requires two people to operate. The creators designed the model to be portable enough for check-in luggage so it could be transported to the Open Sauce event in the United States.
