*****PRINT IN VASE MODE*****\r\n\r\nGet ready for some serious fun as this fast, large print grows before your eyes! To start, follow these print settings and you'll be enjoying your finished project in under an hour - maybe even faster if you tweak the settings to perfection. Once printing is complete, use a generous amount of frosting glue (I prefer a buttercream frosting made with crisco and water, as it's safe for snacking on for days) to "glue" graham crackers to the sides and roof. Make sure to hide all seams with a mountain of frosting and candy! This project is perfect for kids or families looking for some quality time together. \r\n\r\nWe discovered that using original/plain graham crackers was the way to go, as their density outshines flavored ones (we learned this the hard way when we tried cinnamon ones - they're super crumbly and not recommended for this project). The small house requires half graham cracker pieces (2.5" square pieces), while the large house calls for full graham crackers (2.5" x 5"). To get the perfect fit, place the 3D printed house form on top of a graham cracker and cutting board, then use a sharp knife to trim the door sides at just the right angle.
