Very very cool model!
I printed it on the up! mini by scall a half. The output is satisfied, but only pity is the window is not printable. My printer printing size is a little small to print it, I can't print it if I don't scall it. It would be perfect if the window is printable.
Any tips for printing a small window?
very cool printable model.
may i ask, what software did you use to model this house.
I have tried archicad and autocad, to convert my house drawings to water tight models for printing but seem to always get breaks in my geometry or strange intersections between volumes in my models.
i would be really greatful for any tips.
thanks.
Ian :-)
Looks like they built this model in sketch up, but I do this type of work in AutoCAD often without trouble. Because AutoCAD is a solid modeler, it's well suited for 3D printing. I combine as many solids as possible with the union command prior to exporting, and use the BREP command on particularly complex solids, or any solid that refuses to combine with the rest. My understanding is that BREP erases the solid's "history" of smaller shapes and simplifies it. Netfabb Basic is also good for running simple cleanup scripts on STLS before printing.

Very nice! Are supports necessary for this model?
