1:200 scale model of the bridge in Miramichi, New Brunswick. This is a bit of a project to print, to give you fair warning. It is many pieces (30 or so) and requires glueing together. All the files are there to build it, including the wall brackets to mount it to the wall to show it off! There is a lot of detail that is hard to see in the picture, so zoom in if you want to see the detail in this print!
To build it, start by printing all 6 main truss stection files twice. This will give you each side of the bridge. There are 2 arches of cross bracing above the deck labelled as upper upper and upper lower. Print one of each of these, and glue all the of each of these together before glueing them to the main trusses by bending them into place. I had to glue each connection and let it dry to get them all lined up well. Once you have those 2 arches of cross bracing in, print and glue into place the bridge deck followed by the under deck supports which you need to print 2 of. If you have any questions or issues just send me a message!
Before building it, make sure your x and y axis are square with eachother. You can print 2 squares and turn one 90 degrees to see if it is square.
I printed this with 0.1mm layers, and 40% infill. You could get away with thicker layers I'm sure, but there is some fine detail that might get lost.
My bed size is 220mm x 220mm which I used most of, so if you have a slightly smaller bed I'd test all the pieces first, or just scale it down to 80%
