3D Printed Build
Posted: August 22nd, 2018, 2:31 am
Hello!
It has been about 3 years since I've updated my last attempt of a 3D build using Hirst Arts molds. Well, I can safely say that I have abandoned that build in lieu of making a 3D Printed version instead. The dental stone was just too much of a process, and I had little time I could devote to it to make it viable.
Instead, I have started modeling a version that can be 3D printed into sections. The design is based on Michael McDowell's 3D printed version, which can be seen on youtube.
I started with the TrueTile dungeon tiles on Thingiverse.com, as they allow a 1/4" wall between rooms without having to factor in any additional spaces to accommodate them. The wall sections are built into the 1.25"x1.25" tiles, allowing at least 1"x1" miniature space at all times, from all angles. Pretty neat design. The walls will be able to clip onto the floor tile pieces, as well as the doorways.
I have expanded the center hallways, just because. Now that I know how many of each type of tile section I'll need, I can start modeling the different floor tiles I've gotten off of Thingiverse. I want to recreate the different floor styles as closely as possible.
I'll update as I go. Thanks for looking!
