Fredensborg Castle

thingiverse

EDIT!!! ################################################################ Just realized that Thingiverse doesn't allow for down all files in one go. So I added a ZIP-file containing all the STL-files. ################################################################ My local castle celebrates it's 300th anniversary this year, so I decided to create a model of main castle building(s). The model consists of 384 separate parts and they all fit nicely together when printed. The scale is 1:160 (which coincidentally is the same as model train scale N). The largest part is the main roof and it fits on a Prusa MK/3s (just leave out the perimiter). The windows are the worst bits. Print flat and use the layers to print different colours. I used transparent (window pane), white (frame) and grey for the outside ornamental frame. I highly recommend using a .2 mm nozzle and layer height .10 for the windows. I include the Blender file for those interested. Be aware that ONLY the supplied STL files are guarantied to be manifold. The model is not 100% correct. I have left out some insignificant parts on purpose, and some parts are based on guesswork. It has also been nessessary to simplify some parts of the design. Building a model like this based on public tourist pictures and some promotional pictures from their website has been quite a challenge, and it was never my intention to make a perfect replica. The two triangular buildings on the front are the starts of the Octagon, which are surrounding building that forms the main court yard. They are significantly different architecture from the main castle, so I left them out. Similarly I left out the side buildings leading out on the east side. The funny rounded building on the east side of the castle is the "entry part" of those buildings. Use it for whatever purpose you like, but I'd love to be attributed for my work.
