Martinitoren

thingiverse

Replicated Miniature model of the Martinitoren in Groningen, The Netherlands. Original (wooden) model can be purchased at xsModelmakers.nl. Two models included, all in one piece or separate pieces with some nubs and holes to fit the pieces together. The original model uses small magnets to stick together. Technical data: Name: Martinitower Build year: 1577 Location: Groningen, The Netherlands Architect: Gerrit Kistemaker Scale: 1:250 Total height: 320 ft / 97 m PS: I've looked for half an hour to find out how the copyright would work in this case since it's an inexact replication of a very simplified model of an existing but very old building. If anyone knows more about this, please leave a comment. If it turns out to be naughty, I'll remove it. Print Settings Printer: Velleman Vertex K8400 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.5mm Infill: 10% Notes: I printed at 0.1 mm but the design details (except for the bulb on the top) are not more than 0.5 mm resolution. Since it's a sculpture (unless used as a toy), strength is not so important, so I printed at 10% infill. Of course you could also make it out of wood using this model for measurements. Post-Printing Finishing This is a very straightforward print, with mostly straight lines and very few overhangs. If you want to copy the original model, print it with wood-like material and use a gold-pen or something to paint the bulb. To copy the actual building, you'll have to paint some more details. The one and only original. There is also a 1.5 m high model as well.
