I've posted a step-by-step painting guide for Printable Scenery's new 3D-printed Caribbean building: link A perfect building for pirate games! Though, of course, this type of house could have any other uses – the Peninsular War springs to mind, or Maximilian's Mexican Adventure, or the Spanish Civil War. Matt designed the building in a semi-fortified state, with boarded and bricked windows on the ground floor as you would find is times of war and civil unrest. There is limited access on the ground floor, but lots of firing positions on the upper floors. Perfect for a last stand! I'm really looking forward to seeing what other buildings Matt adds to his Caribbean range. I've plied him with photos of real buildings from Havana (Cuba), as well as pictures from the Disneyland ‘Pirates of the Caribbean' ride – let's see if any of these come to fruition!

Thats really well done. Similar in shape but more detailed than my partners family property in Cambodia. Wonder how much it would cost to get printed?

A beauty! How much total do you figure? Was it a STL file? What material? Thanks. |

The building was printed on a Prusa MK2, using ABS filament. It cost about US$8 to print. Each section took about ten hours, so was printed overnight. It was printed it at .2 layer height at slow speed. |

This looks great, would love to have one, but if you don't have your own 3D printer you are SOL. A commercial firm will charge at least $50 USD per print hour so although their equipment might be faster, for a one-off you are still looking at $250 USD+, plus materials cost, plus set-up. I don't understand why Printable doesn't also offer printed buildings. |
