Mission San Gabriel Archangel Project

myminifactory

4th Grade Mission Project - San Gabriel Archangel, masterfully crafted by my daughter with expert technical support from Dad. The majority of the components are precision-printed using PLA and the roof is constructed in LayBrick for optimal stain-resistance. Plants, grass, and figurine were carefully selected at Michaels Craft Store. A unique walkway effect is achieved by sprinkling Elmer's white glue with craft sand. Doors and windows are boldly colored with markers, showcasing a non-traditional yet effective approach. Given the time/material constraints, we opted for a straightforward front facade instead of a fully-realized building. This distinctive bell was used in various scales to create the impressive bell tower, available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5015. The water feature in the fountain is crafted from a two-part clear polyurethane castable system infused with a touch of blue dye, sourced from https://bjbenterprises.com/index.php/wc-595-a-b/. For bonding PLA pieces together and mounting to wood, we utilized AP 3220-A-B adhesive from https://bjbenterprises.com/index.php/adhesives/ap-3220-a-b/.
