3D House Printer - Concrete Castle

thingiverse

Human-made STLs of the concrete fortress are printed by Andrey Rudenko at 1:25 scale using his 3D House Printer. The castle design is created by Misha Tikh, and Andrey prints it out. Two years have passed since I started working on a 3D printer capable of constructing houses. My vision was to use light, portable, and stable machines with new technology. Initially, I built a small 3D printer using plastic as the main material, and from there, I experimented with enlarging the printer and testing various cement mixes. I layered cement for my machine, which required thorough programming tuning on a printer level as well as precise quantities of the cement mix. During tests, I encountered numerous obstacles such as clogged extruders and discovered even more printer capabilities, like its ability to print up to 50cm per day, contrary to my original estimate. After calibrating the machine, I achieved nearly perfect layers. I also experimented with varying layer heights and widths of the cement. My standard setting is now 10 millimeters high by 30 millimeters wide, but numerous options are available with just one click. My two-year journey culminates in the construction of the world's first 3D-printed concrete castle, now completed!
