This is a 1/87 scale model of Soviet/Russian boxcar series 11-270. It's general dimensions and big details are modeled rather precise, but undercarriage equipment are somewhat symbolic and rough.
Assembly is shown on the following picture:
Notes:
- I cannot stress this enough: the bed must be really flat, or you need some compensation mechanisms, like level sensor and mesh bed leveling enabled. Good adhesion is a must for this thin and detailed print.
- 2 versions of car can be printed - with ladders and hatches on roof (use "top v2", "ladder h" and "ladder v") and without (use "top v1").
- bottom is modeled for Mehano american bogies with integrated couplers. Other bogies with M4 screw will fit. M3 screw will fit when fixed by a nut.
- If bridges print well on your machine, ladders can be printed in one piece with top and front sides.
- Doors are movable but might require some filing. They are symmetrical and will fit upside down. v1 and v2 only differ in position of decorative plate for lock.
- Bottom ladder (ladder 3) is movable (can be folded) but since it can fall off during moving of the car, it should better be glued in one position.
- On render there are 2 brake wheels on each side of car, but only one is present on real cars. Just print only one.

Notes:
- Supports are only needed for side, there is a small ladder that overhangs.
Small details should be printed slowly, e.g. 20-30mm/s.
First layer is very important and should be printed slowly as well. After that, printing can be sped up.
Post-Printing
After printing I painted the details with airbrush and coated with spray matte coating.
Doors may require sanding after painting and coating.
