Hey all, I've published my gothic buildings on Thingiverse here: Small Building - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:217828 Large Building - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:217827 If you have access to a 3D printer, you can download and give them a shot. They print very well even at low resolution, and you can reduce the infill to 5% to save filament. I'll be adding photos to the Thingiverse pages as soon as I can get a couple nice shots. |

Very nice. But I'd prefer separate walls instead of full buildings. As for the IP thing, the Epic40K phrase is being used, that might cause a problem. Gothic as a descriptor should be fine. |

Ah. That is true. A change to "for use with" or compatible with would clear all doubt. Nice work too. I wonder what it would cost to print? |

Is it hollow or solid? |

With MakerBot-style 3D printers, you can specify the amount of infill you'd like. For these, I used as little as 5% without any issues. So short answer is that it's designed as a solid, but the software will recognize that it doesn't need to be fully filled and can be adjusted to make it nearly hollow. |

Hmm, what's the quality of the MakerBot printers? |

I think they're fine for these larger items, but there's no way you'll get a good quality miniature out of them. |
