'Reimagined' Firehouse Playset - PART 2 - Garage Walls
Added 2023-12-15 23:12:24 +0000 UTCAnother set of Firehouse files are ready - this set is for building out the walls of the Ecto garage with the iconic archway. The archway - when fully opened - was designed to provide enough clearance for the Kenner Ectomobile to fit through with the gunner seat and a figure! In fact, you might say this entire 3D printing exercise stems from this single childhood frustration that has been simmering for over 30 years.....
(Note: if you are just starting, get Part 1 files here...)
I printed the firehouse walls using a "Matte Marble' PLA by PolyMaker. It prints VERY clearly and gives off a light-grey stone look. I'm sure it'd look even more realistic if you put a dark wash and weathered it up a bit. Right now, mine is sitting pristine and clean.
Here is my print of these files...

Most of the wall parts were printed upright in my build at a standard 0.2mm layer height resolution

2024-04-13 02:08:30 +0000 UTCWhat resolution are you guys' printing this at? Also, should I print these laying down? I am afraid if I do, I would need to sand and then paint, and I am would rather just print them in the correct colors without needing to paint.
