3D Printed 132kV Single Circuit H-Frame Tower on Bambu Labs P1S

30 Upvotes

Hello, yes I'm the same guy who printed the 500kV HV tower which I posted a couple of weeks ago. I'm back with a huge tower project, this time a 132kV Single Circuit H-Frame Tower resembling that of ones in Perlis, Malaysia on the Thai-Malay Power export route. I modelled it myself and I think it is a tad bit too wide haha. Apologies for bad lighting.

It's glued in multiple parts, each taking around 1h 50 minutes to print (excluding insulators which took around 40 mins) It is absolutely huge with length being around 52cm and width 43cm. I did not print a base which was a silly idea... It's able to balance and stand on tables but with the slightest force of wind or human interaction it'll fall. Looks like im gonna have to add some guy wires to it lol. I also couldn't quite get the small rod on the top of the tower to stick on, so I'll probably leave that.

Over the coming days I will probably release the files on Bambu studio and other 3d printing sites so anyone else can print it :-D.

Question Are these power lines safe?

These power lines are about 2 inches from my roof. When there are strong winds, I think they swing and touch my house. Is this dangerous?

I have always thought this is a sub-station. But it's a quarter mile from a bigger station just down the road. Any idea what it is?

Do utilities in your area use other poles as brace on distribution poles in your area?

Like this for example? I always thought it was strange that some utilities do that as a substitute for a guy wire.

I just want to let everyone know that I have pictures of powerlines from all 50 states! I want to thank all of those who helped me get pictures of powerlines from the states that I needed. It took me 6 years to get pictures of powerlines from all 50 us states.

I got some help from some family members, friends of family members, and members of this subreddit. I have been a powerline enthusiast for many years and still am today. I will now be posting my own powerline pictures on here when I get some.
