This 3D printed garden train "G" track bender is designed to bend flexible "G" tracks without disassembling them as is needed by simple rail benders
It was tested on Code 250 Peco track in Silvernickel, which is very difficult to bend without tooling as it is very springy and always return back to its original shape.
It is closely derived from my original "oakbender" build in oak.
Designed just for fun, to see how easier it could be built compared to oak building.
