In-N-Out Scale Model

thingiverse

Have you ever felt like your life is missing that one special something? Something to showcase on a shelf, or proudly display on your desk, or even center-stage in a trophy cabinet to flaunt your impressive 3D printing skills? Well, look no further - create yourself an exact-scale replica of everyone's favorite eatery, In-N-Out! This print breaks down into six components, easily assembled with a little super glue. Simply print out one "innout.stl", four "innout_awning.stl", and one "innout_roof". I successfully achieved the two-color effect using a single-extruder printer by utilizing the "pause at height" plugin in Cura. The black windows and door are just paper that I pressure-fit into the slots. However, the door required super glue to secure it due to its tendency to fall out easily. I colored in the logo on the front of the building with red and yellow Sharpie. This was an incredibly fun project I did for a school assignment. Hopefully, someone will give this print a try - probably one of the most enjoyable 3D projects I've ever worked on! Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker Original Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 5% Notes: I didn't use supports in my print because I've fine-tuned my printer to handle extreme overhangs and bridges, like the one at the front of the building. I highly recommend using supports for anyone uncomfortable with such complex prints. When you import the model into your slicer, it will likely be on its back. Simply rotate it 90 degrees and print it as if it were sitting on a table. The dual-color effect is super impressive when done correctly. I utilized a plugin preinstalled in Cura called "pause at height" to swap out filament mid-print. If you're using Cura like me, just navigate to the Plugins bar and double-click "Pause at height" to add it to your print. I set the height to 12.5mm and instructed it to park the head in the back-right corner. As it did that, I removed the white filament and inserted a little red. After about 15 minutes of watching the print, the height readout was 17.5mm. I manually paused the print again and repeated the process. I did this same thing with all four of the red/white awnings - this time swapping at 5mm. How I Designed This I created this model using SolidWorks 2015. What a fantastic tool!
