Build a Castle that Lasts with this Modular Mold Design. Anyone Can Build an Epic Sand Castle with Ease. Start by Printing One Tray and Begin Your Masterpiece. With This Textured Mold, You'll Be Able to: Create Towering Walls that Touch the Sky Design Thousands of Unique Castle Shapes and Wall Combinations Craft Intricate Details Like Parapet Walks, Tunnels, and Roofs Make a Massive Sand Castle that Breaks the 200x200x200mm Barrier. Have Fun Building and Calculating 3D Models Created in 123D. This Project Has an Educational Purpose, Making It Perfect for Students. See Instructions for: Math Facts to Help You Master Your Craft Tips on Working with Sand to Achieve Perfection Printing Settings to Get the Best Results Watch a Short Presentation Video at https://youtu.be/HynJygsRE3g and Learn More. For a Hexagon, Use the Outside Angle Rule: A = 360/N (degrees), Where N is the Number of Sides on the Perimeter Wall. To Build a Regular Polygon, Use the Formula R = S/2sin(180/N), Where: R is the Radius of the Outside Wall S is the Side Length of One Wall Section N is the Number of Sides on the Perimeter Wall Build a Small Wall Section and Two Towers, Then Measure the Distance Between Their Centers. Decide How Many Sides You Want Your Perimeter Wall to Have and Crunch the Numbers to Find the Radius. Draw a Circle with the Calculated Measurement and Go Around It, Marking the Distance S. You'll Get N Number of Tower Marks, Matching the Spacing Perfectly. Alternatively, Use One of the Pre-Calculated Radius/Side Proportions: 4 Sides: 1 S = 0.707 R 5 Sides: 1 S = 0.85 R 6 Sides: 1 S = 1.00 R 7 Sides: 1 S = 1.152 R 8 Sides: 1 S = 1.307 R When Working with Sand, Plan Your Build, Do the Math, and Check the Weather. Make a Strong Foundation, Pack the Sand Down, and Build Piles of Wet Sand to Set Different Elevations. Work from Top to Bottom, Layer by Layer, Packing Sand Tight Inside the Mold. Always Carve from Outside to Inside. For Printing Settings, Use 0.3 mm Layer Height on PLA and Print Walls with 0% Infill and No Support. Print Fast, as Small Defects Won't Transfer to Sand.
