Two Arab shops


These two shops come from 3D-Print-Terrain’s Arabic Buildings kickstarter, now available as an add-on in Jens’ kickstarters, or from his shop.
They are made on my Prusa i3 Mk 3, with 0.1 mm layer thickness. Each took about 21 hours to print. The big door-ways are a bit of a hassle, as they are too broad to support the filament during printing, resulting in quite a lot of sagging filament that I had to cut away.  
These buildings will come in very handy in my upcoming Pulp Alley Tomb of the Serpent campaign, and I have an idea of painting one or two for my zombie-games set in Sweden. Just use more colours and put a suitable sign on them.

  1. Hi Joakim -- They look pretty good, there is sufficient detail to be an improvement on a straight foamboard build, I do like the shutters a lot, thats the sort of extra detailing that makes the difference.
    Do you know roughly how much this would cost to print?

    1. They look good enought, especially as they are houses. On arms length you can't see that they are printed.
      Filament cost is about £2.50 each, which is pretty decent.

    2. Its remarkably good value for money, especially when offset against your time scratch building them.

    3. Well, you can crank out a lot of buildings faster than you can paint them, see previous post :-)
      And the price point is obviously great

  2. They look very nice. You can barely tell that they're printed.

    1. It's all in the layer height. And .1 mm seem alright when printing buildings with flat walls. Takes a while, though

    1. Good luck with them.
      I backed Jens' latest Arabic kickstarter, so there will be many more buildings for for my desert settings
