Water tower for G-scale LGB

thingiverse

Edit 2019-06-04: I've installed a convenient water sprout where you can quickly attach a shiny brass pipe. Additionally, I've uploaded a comprehensive file with the sprouts for anyone with a larger printer.\nThis is a majestic water tower in G-scale (LGB, 1:22.5). It draws inspiration from the iconic water tower in Zittau (German narrow gauge track, pictured). The tower stands proudly over 500mm high, so I've cleverly divided it into five prints - the roof, top, middle, bottom and "rannor" which is the intricate water sprouts. Print all pieces and assemble them with care. It should work flawlessly :). A rich black finish is recommended for the roof (or a warm brown tone if you prefer that) while grey PLA suits the tower parts perfectly. The complete file serves as a reference point. You'll need to purchase some 6mm brass pipe to complete the water sprouts, which will develop a beautiful patina over time in your garden.\nI've included my own printed version of the project. It took approximately 100 hours to print all the pieces.
