NEW FAIRY HOUSE - WINDMILL ICE CREAM! (Patreon)

Hello friends!

Another pretty fairy house to add to your collection! Following the "candy" fairy house theme, I decided to add this cute little windmill. You'll recognize, of course, a magnificent ice cream cone topped with blades made of wafer cookies.

I love how the model turned out. You can really feel the sweetness of the design. However, since we're experiencing a rapid spring thaw here with lots of rain after a very snowy winter, the humidity is at its peak, and I must admit that my filament seems to have a slightly too high moisture level. Oh well! That'll teach me not to leave my filament dryer sitting on the shelf! 😂So, please excuse the slightly less perfect finish than usual! 😂

One important note: The tolerances were calculated based on the parts that have fuzzy skin. If you decide not to apply fuzzy skin, some parts may have a little more play than usual. Just a heads-up, in case you're wondering... This only applies to the few pieces with fuzzy skin and those that fit into it, like the base and the fence. But printing them without fuzzy skin won't cause you any problems as such.

Regarding the windmill blades, yes, they spin! (Yeah!) Thanks to a snap-in axle, they're completely free and stay firmly in place.

Finally, like all my fairy houses, everything is printable on a "mini" printer. So no worries, it prints no matter what type of printer you have.

That being said, let's take a look at this little project together!

Like almost all my fairy houses, this one can be illuminated with a battery-powered tealight. Simple, effective, and inexpensive.

All the parts print without supports. And true to my standards, the trickier overhangs will be hidden by other parts, like the window frames.

Some parts will require color changes, but none of them require AMS. These are color changes by layers, and the whole process can be done on any printer, as you probably already know. If you are not familiar with this process, please feel free to mention it! 😉

All the parts are already oriented correctly.

The filenames are coded by color, quantity, and settings (like the fuzzy skin).

Complete instructions are also provided. As with all my projects, I highly recommend doing dry fit checks (without glue) to see how the parts fit together and carefully reviewing the instructions before proceeding.

Finally, a complete Bambu Lab project file is also included, with the color changes, settings, and everything else you need. The settings included in the Bambu Lab project are only suggestive; feel free to modify them according to your preferences if you wish.

Remember: My color changes are by layers! So you absolutely must slice the plate first to see the color changes in the preview window. It is normal not to see them when you open the project without slicing the plates.

That's all I have to say. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on my community's Facebook page:

Have lots of fun, everyone, hope you like it as much as i do! See you very soon with another model! Thank you for your support! ❤️
