Hi. I am starting testing with a new way of laying down the magline. I am having trouble getting the 'Keld metode ' consistent and good enough.
Going to route a 4mm track then 3d print a 4 X 4mm infill with the magwire within.
Altenate printing with magnetic pla and see if I can get the right tracktion.
Also thinking of printing lanechangesections with mag.pla.
I will be back with progress if any....

Re: Routing a Magracing track.
Routing the OSB board is a nightmare. Due to the uneven structure it is impossible to get some nice straight routing.
So instead of struggling i used a 6 mm bit and let it slip-slide, thinking it would leave a useful track of 4 mm in the middle.
It seems to work I just have to cut the worst places with an x-acto knife.
The uneven track will hold the pla-track n place.
Some pic.

Re: Routing a Magracing track.
I think you are making an easy job difficult Kim. Glue the wire down - plaster it level. Job done!
Re: Routing a Magracing track.
You are probably right Wes, but not everyone has a black belt in plastering.

Re: Routing a Magracing track.
That OSB board aint worth to use, throw it out an buy a mdf. And stop waiting time with that printing.
When i can get a good driwing 1/24 i will use my lasercutter to make the slot to the wires, it is easy to do and very precise.

Sure Keld, MDF is way better, I just had these leftover by hand.
And these sections I make are reusable, I can just pop them out and use them om a new track.
BTW when you use laser, can you cut a slot only or will you cut all through?

Re: Routing a Magracing track.
Track layout is down. Now spotguing and some infill at the worst spots along the track.

No way you can drop plastering on OSB boards.
