I’m building this toy train

Managed to construct the gear housing. I did have some issues with delamination on the gold piece which I think could be mitigated by printing sideways instead of vertically, but it would use a ton of supports. For now a bit of extra super glue on this thin connections seems to hold.

I’ve also mostly finished the motor housing which uses a DC motor. I’ll post that next time when I have more assembled.
