From my kickstarter campaign: The Fortress
Video 1 (general)
Video 2 (destructible bridge)
Video 3 Working trap "Killing wall"
Video 4 Working trap "The Devil's Scythe"
Video 5 Working trap "The Crushing Trap"
The idea is to have many models that can be used as individual scenarios for playing, but when combined together they create an exciting and convincing gaming scenario for your gaming session, or even simply as a model for display.
The Fortress consists of:
-2 small guard towers,
-1 entrance bridge (destructible and reassembled with spherical magnets),
-6 towers, two of which are connected to each other by a pedestrian bridge,
-1 giant double-faced statue with internal stairs and torches,
-1 upper courtyard playable with defensive walls
-1 dungeon with various game setups, all doors and gates are functional, as is the access drawbridge.
All illuminated by 35 flame-shaped LEDs.
(all stretch goals already created are included, the next ones will be added as they are designed and tested, see the updates on the ks page to see the progress)
-There are approximately 540 pieces
-Models are very easy to print and assemble without glue, only joints.
-Details have been designed to be well defined even at 0.2 mm layer print.
-Movable doors.
I divided the models into as many parts as possible to reduce printing times and supports to the bone
(many pieces are free supports and the others have the minimum necessary, generally almost absent),
the interlocking system of the pieces is either openLOCK (the system created by printable scenery) or with simple pins.
I used two Ender 3-V1 and Cura slicer to print the entire Fortress.
In total it weighs approximately 8 kg/17,5 lbs.
Each print was completed during the day, i have never printed at night.
I am attaching all my Cura print settings ,along with an assembly tutorial that will guide you step by step ,and the right LEDs, real chains and magnets to use.
-the largest piece requires a bed of 18x18cm
-The model scale is already set for 28mm minis.
-Fully playable inside.
Stretch goals already made and included:
-Defense systems
-Additional stairs and balconies
-Additional universal walls
-A Market
-A set of working death traps
Stretch goals still to be done:
-Fortress siege set
-The entire fortress in a state of ruin
My settings
Details have been designed to be well defined even at 0.2 mm layer print
Nozzle 0,4mm - Pla 1,75mm - Layer 0,2mm - 5% infill - Walls 1 mm- Brim 3 mm
Support overhang angle 80°-87° in Cura slicer - Support Z distance 0,3 mm
Even if the supports are generally few and sometimes absent, you must leave the "generate supports"
I printed everything with an overhang of 80°-87°.
option in your slicer always active, also to allow a good print of the pin and openlock housings.
I found the "support Z distance " setting in the supports section very important,
because it allows us to distance the top of the support from the model a bit (my value 0.3mm)
Some pieces are already presupported, have the suffix PRE, to remove the supports will be enough clippers.
