Description
This is the building I live in in Boston (also the building we started my current company wayfair.com in). Pretty fun to have a mini replica of where you live. The overhanging deck in the back came out suprisingly good!
Instructions
I printed this on a Makerbot with an automated build platform. I found that I needed to print it with a raft given the height. Also the standard raft configuration has a gap between the raft lines which I found allowed the building to flex too much in the X direction as it got tall. To remedy this I changed the Base infill density to .65 in skeinforge. This makes the raft lines closer together so that they actually touch and form a raft that is more solid in both the X and Y directions. I left the raft attached.

Can you thicken the fence part in the front yard so it isn't ignored by SF. Right now it just prints the base, and then a few layers later prints a top "in the air" that kind of messes up the print.
Just loaded up a new version (v2) that I removed some of th efront fence detail on and thickened it slightly. It printed nicely for me. Let me know if you have issues.
