What is Martin's Monorail?

A fully 3D printed and customizable gridfinity train platform. Use it bring your futuristic city ideas to your desk / workshop / kitchen and carry your cargo or food around. If you're in to trains and 3D printing this is the perfect project. You can print your own track however big you want, customize it in a wide range of ways and now it's fully remote-control using cyberbricks.

 

What is CyberBricks?

CyberBricks is a plug and play electronics kit that let's you turn your 3D printed creations into Remote Control wonders.

This train and controller is fully CyberBricks compatible and includes build instructions and the BOM below.

 

Train

The new train platform has many new features:

• Uses Cyberbricks for easy plug-and-play electronics
• Standardized base allowing you to choose what shell to add. (V1.0 only includes the London Underground, but more shells coming soon)
• Uses 2 sets of wheels for more stability.
• Uses 4mm bearings to use all Bambu parts.

• Choose your own gear ratio. Use the 1:60 for a fast speed train, or 1:72 or even 1:110 for higher carrying capacity.

   

Controller

The custom controller lets you latch it moving forwards, backwards or stationary, and also has 2 buttons for future support with the track switcher (coming soon).

 

Compatibility

This train is compatible with Martin's Monorail V1.3, it needs the larger radius pieces and works best with 2x2 carriages.

A new 2x2 carriage is included in this model that uses 4mm bearings instead of 5mm bearings for better maker world supply.

 

Train Shells

1. London Underground - Based on the Victoria Train, this shell makes your train look like a classic london underground train.
2. Blue Tank Engine Model -Inspired by a Classic Children’s Railway Character

more coming soon.

This is an on-going project, with new stuff added regularly. Some of the future stuff includes

• Remote controlled track switching with the Automatic Y-Splitter
• Remote controlled ramp / lift to move the trains up a wall

• New train shells including a mine-craft style train and a steam train shell
