I’ve kept the 3D printer running and tackled my first ‘multi part’ design – the gate house. I need three of these for the village layout and I need one with the house to the left of the gate and one to the right. So when I designed these, I made it as reversible as possible.

As a reminder, below is my ‘inspiration’ and the CAD design that I came up with.

I’ve had to break the model down into 6 parts. This is partly to make it easier to print and partly to allow access into the building to place models. The arched gate needs to be glued to both the ground floor of the house and the building with the ‘murder holes’ above.

All the bits

All the bits glued together

I clearly don’t have the print settings dialed in just yet as there is a little bit of warping in some places. Not significant but I had to fill the small gaps once I had glued everything together.

Here are the finished gate houses
