Drawbridge for 28mm miniatures gaming

thingiverse

I've always dreamed of having a drawbridge for my games, and I'm excited to share one that can be used on a flat surface. This versatile drawbridge can be used to create a controlled gate over a small river or moat, adding an extra layer of excitement to your gaming experience. This drawbridge comes in two convenient files: one with all the wooden pieces and another with the two stone structures so you can print them in different colors. The best part? Everything prints without supports! One of the standout features of this model is the wooden drawbridge's three positions: down, middle, and raised. Simply move it into place, and it will snap into position seamlessly. Plus, the 1.75mm filament hinge makes it easy to use a durable and easily available material. You can also add some extra details with elastic string to show the ropes or chains that raise and lower the bridge. And don't forget about the set of banners! They come in three pieces: the post, mount, and banner. The mount slides over the post and is glued into place, while the banner fits snugly into the post (so be sure to watch for this). Once assembled, you can snap it into the side of the large pillars with a custom-designed snap that makes it easy to insert or remove as needed. The banner itself is designed flat, so you can print stickers and apply them to make it really pop. UPDATE 2/22/20: I've added a new image featuring some paint - I used the new Paramount PLA called Medusa Stone Gray, which looks fantastic! On one side of the drawbridge, there are four short pillars that are flat on top. This is intentional, so you can choose your own style and type of statue to place on them. The statues in my pictures aren't mine, by the way - I downloaded them from Thingiverse (WeeksB created the "New York Gargoyle Statue" model). You'll find plenty of other cool designs to select from if you search for "Gargoyle." Just be sure to reduce the size of the print to fit on the short pillars. Enjoy your new drawbridge!
