Yesterday, at perhaps one of the unlikeliest places (a supermarket), I came across a 3D pen and took it without hesitation. I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time, so it was a pleasure to find one for ₪60 in a brick and mortar store. After making random test objects that don't represent anything, I thought I should start using it to form parts that are too small and/or complex for hot melt glue (among other uses). As a minor update to the North American diesel, I made an end rail and added it to the front:

Have to say it turned out quite good, and in fact the PLA set hard enough that scissors could barely cut it. Hoping to do the same to create the "hoops" for Henrietta's balconies. Once I could get used to how the pen operates and find more (and better coloured) filaments for it, I look forward to making/duplicating more intricate shapes and components later on.
