      Not exactly - it's for all the DIY stuff im doing anyway. Bought it with a friend.

      A few friends and I were talking about doing this.

      I can highly recommend the Anycubic I3 Mega. I do have access to quite a few printers, incl. Ultimaker 2/3 Extended, BigReps and others. The Anycubic is outstanding given the price and at least compareable to the Ultimaker IMHO. Great results, good build quality, no open wires like other cheap printers.

      @thwr The control code shouldn't be that difficult. Getting some sort of GUI for people to interact with is where it becomes difficult, right? Have you considered just using HTML5? Assign control codes to pictures of the track, trains, and sensors? I don't remember which programming languages you've used before, so I'm just going generic here.

      Actually, that's quite a good idea. Maybe node.js?

      I'm betting a Pi would happily run that, which is going to be a consideration here.

      Indeed. Not because I don't got any spare PCs (...), but I would like to see a ARM Linux in place. Much lower power consumption, no windows licenses...

      Anyway. The most problematic part is to get some snap mechanism for the tracks / rails. There are like 20-30 different parts, like junctions, crossings, there are multiple layers, one track might be beyond another and so on. And I'm not exactly a web "developer" 😉

      Righto, after a bit more research, the i7 is probably what you're looking for.
