Thanks everyone for taking time to answer my questions, really appreciated. 🙂

@collins and @limburger just to make sure I’m understanding you, if the printer is an FDM printer and a using a 0.4mm nozzle, the thicknesses have to be a multiple of 0.4mm? So I assume a thickness of 0.8mm is manageable but would a 1mm thick wall be possible? Or would you need to go to 1.2mm? Is there a size where this doesn’t become an issue and you don’t have to worry about multiples of the nozzle size?

And thanks for offering to print the file once I’ve completed, I’ll try and post it up here if I can once it is ready.

Is there a standard x,y,z size that I can’t design beyond as it won’t fit on the ‘standard’ 3d printer? One of the buildings I’m thinking of designing is a church, which is going to be fairly large. Knowing this will allow me to break the model down into smaller parts.

@blinky465 I’ve heard about this ‘layering’ but having not had a 3d print before, I’ve not seen it myself. I’m hoping that at 15mm, it won’t be too noticeable and if need be, I can apply a thin, watered down layer of polyfilla and gently sand it down once dry.

@noyjatat I did stumble across those files, but thanks for reminding me. They do look lovely. I’m looking for Italian buildings as most of my FoW stuff is based around the Italian campaign. I’ve yet to see anyone make Italian buildings at 15mm. I’ve found some Mediterranean style, but it just doesn’t quite fit. I’m thinking Tuscany hill village. I started off by designing files for a laser cutter to make MDF buildings but to get them made is going to be very expensive. So I thought I’d try 3d printing as another option that might allow more detail than MDF…. I’ll fire up a project at some point on the terrain build
