Description

Kitset of Notre-Dame de Reims.
Designed to be printed on UP! Plus.
62 pieces.
Drawn in Solidworks 2012.
All parts drawn from scratch referencing L'Instant Durable paper model, internet photos & books.

Instructions

Pictorial instructions included in "reims_cathedral.zip" along with the .stl files.
Full assembly in parasolid format available in "reims_assembly_parasoild.zip"

Designed to be printed in ABS on UP! 3D printer. Parts are designed to be printed with the most detailed face(s) facing upwards for maximum detail. This means most bits should be printed laying flat.
I used 3mm raft onto perfboard, which had been smeared with liquid ABS.

There was an error in reims13c. A fixed version (13c1) is available in the download area, also the zip file has been corrected. The parasolid is correct.

You're architect? What kind of 3D print did you use?

Answers are in the description above

could anyone who printed this please share the total print time for the kit? (include your printer model and resolution too please) and if possible the weight with/without supports of the total project, i believe this would make an amazing project as a demonstration of the capabilities of a 3d printer and would love to try it once i get a printer but i doubt thats one spool worth of filament and most likely a multi-day print for most printers not to mention assembly time. id like to have some details before i jump in over my head.

Hey, great kitset, beautifully rendered.
I've tried printing it with the Replicator 2 but it keeps giving me an error message after the slicing, has anyone had this problem or knows how to fix it? I'm really interested in making one of these.

sublime!!!!!

Hi, this is a wonderful work we will try inspiring our students with. However, the file reims13c.stl is not hollow as it should be to connect to reims27c. Could you share a hollow version that fits snugly with the 27c?

Sorry, not sure what happened there, since my printed one is hollow. Revised file in download area, also new zip file. Parasolid was correct.

Really beautiful.

the only problem with this print: it will take three generations of 3d printing, and so much support. Aliena and the quarry and everything. Oh my. I better get starting.

incredible

Amazing! by the way what scale is it in?

 1:560
Scale was decided by fitting the largest bits to the printer table.

Sublime travail !

How many pounds of ABS did this take?  ;)

 270g assembled.
Estimate 450g including rafts, supports

So amazed! This is the new "test print".

Incredible! 

Wow!  That's impressive.

Amazing....just amazing!! Thank you soooo much for sharing such an incredible piece of art work. I am in awe everytime I look at the details of this model and realize the time it took just to model it (let alone the time it takes to print and assemble). Thank you!

Excellent detail, the UP is an amazing machine

Have to try it.

awesome work!
insane print.
soo..  we are challenged to work on full colour support in our openscource 3d printers.

wonderful project !! congradulations !! :-)
Can i ask, how many prints hours was this all together ?
Ian :-)

Quickly adding up my logbook I got 78 hours. Not sure if that included duplicates bits like buttresses.

Incredible...

Stunning work sir.

Absolutely the best printed model I've ever seen.Tick VG.

Wow. Just wow.

Fantastic detail!
