Openlock / Openforge Skull Cave Dungeon Entrance

cults3d

This is a remix of SnekyPete's Basalt Terrain Skull Temple. When I first laid eyes on what he'd created, I thought it would be perfect as a dungeon entrance, so I decided to give it a try and see what I could do. What I've done includes: Rescaling it to 80%, so it fits on my Ender without worrying about whether the print head will hit the clips holding the buildplate in place. I created a passageway to the back of the temple, adding a step down to ground level at the same time. I opted for a single large step rather than a flight of them, because that way it should be able to hold a figure on a 25mm base. I added an Openlock triplex connector at the back of the temple, making it easier to assemble and disassemble when needed. I made it a two-part item with Openlock connectors. This design makes it simpler to print (the bottom half doesn't need supports), and by using the springy-type clips you can easily remove the skull in play to get at your miniatures. I printed my test one at 0.2mm layer height, although you might get better detail on the horizontal surfaces at 0.16mm. The top will require supports under the skull and horns, but the bottom can be printed without any additional support. In the photo, the caves I've clipped on at the back are Devon Jones' OpenForge caves, which can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3871687
