Midsummer Pole (H0 scale or bigger)

thingiverse

This Midsummer Pole was designed specifically for a model train panorama in H0 scale, but it also makes an excellent flower pot decoration or table top centerpiece. My daughter is particularly thrilled about the idea of using it as a midsummer pole for her Sylvanian Families collection and I'm confident it will work beautifully in any scale. The printed version measures 100 mm high, with approximately 10 mm dedicated to being pressed into ground material for stability. This allows the pole to stand upright at an impressive height of nearly 8 meters when scaled up to H0's 1:87 ratio. While scaling down is possible, it becomes increasingly challenging to maintain print quality. To minimize support and cleanup efforts, I opted to print the pole in two halves, which were then carefully glued together. As we celebrate midsummer, I wish everyone a joyous and festive season!
