Hello friends! Hope everyone's fine! :) Here's the third building of the Christmas Village! A nice fire station, which was supposed to be (at the beginning of the project) a... toy store...
While working on it two days ago, i realized that it was wayyyyy too big for a toy store, even a two stories one... So instead of trashing it like i do sometimes and re-start from scratch, i tought it would be nice to transform the design it into a suggestion i had few days ago from a patron here, Chris.
So i'm offering tonight, the Fire Station, 100% Hot Wheels compatible in size and the biggest building in the village to date.
The instructions are included inside the zip file, and as usual for the big parts, try to use thick layer height, like 0.24, 0.28 or even 0.30. The body on this one was done with layers of 0.28mm and the look it really great. You will save time a lot by using higher layer height for the big parts.
For the signage, use thin layer height (like 0.12mm), with low temperature and slow speed, with a color change at the corresponding layer.For the small parts, 0.20 and even 0.10mm height is recommended. I have tried 0.30mm height on the roof snow on this one, and you can see the layer lines are really visible and too thick for a rounded, small part like this. Altought the look is still nice and clean, the layer lines on the snow is a killer in my opinion.
The written instructions here are also included in the zip file! Thanks to Tony for the suggestions to add them!!!
Have fun with this one too!Pascal
