Leuchtturm Roter Sand 1:100

thingiverse

This is a highly detailed model of the offshore lighthouse "Roter Sand" located in the North Sea. Recently, it celebrated its 125-year anniversary. The model was meticulously designed with precision to be printed at a scale of 1:100 on a common FDM printer with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. I created this entire model from scratch using photos and sketches found through Google image search in Fusion 360, except for the water tile. The water tile was sourced from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3430409), specifically "ocean2.stl," which is not a remix. Despite my best efforts to make the model accurate and proportionate, there are some notable differences between this version and the actual building, including but not limited to: * No interior space was modeled (the interior is hollow). * The rear entrance door and ladder are missing. * I did not account for the bolts and nuts on the exterior. * The railing on the top platform and around the roof tops was solidified. * The ladder does not stand freely. The water tile was cropped to fit the 220x220 build plate of the Ender 3, leaving a small gap. On a larger build plate or smaller scale, the full hexagon can be used without losing details, but reducing the scale is not recommended. This model comes in separate parts that can be printed separately and colored to match the original building as follows (from bottom to top): * Water Tile (or Water Tile Cropped) - blue * North - any color * Pillar * - black * Base - black * Tower Section 0 - black * Tower Section 1 - white * Tower Section 2 - red * Tower Section 3 - white * Tower Section 4 - red * Tower Section 4 Bottom * - red * Tower Section 4 Roof - black * Railing - white * Tower Section 5 - white * Tower Section 5 Roof * - black * Window Aligned * - transparent The windows need to be printed multiple times as indicated in the filename (four times Window 1 and seven, one time Window 2 and three). The smaller ones go into the smaller side tower, while the larger tower's windows are (clockwise seen from above) Window 1, Window 2, Window 3 (with diagonals creating an arrow pointing up), and three more times Window 1. The water tile (with north-indicator and pillars) is optional. The tower can stand on its own on the Base, or you could omit the base and use Section 0 as a stand. Most of the parts will stick together on their own, but the section 4 bottoms and the railing should be glued on separately. The railing and section 5 house can be fixed onto the flat section 4 roof using short pieces of a paper clip for which little holes are modeled. Update: A new version of the water tile was added with a slight elevation to prevent the base from clipping into the wave.
