One version is deeper and includes the front section that opens onto the main viaduct. There are two options for printing the major northern wing of the castle. The cylinder I used for this is included in the files. This gives the part extra time to cool between each layer. I found it effective to print a hollow cylinder beside these peices, scaled in the Z axis to match the height of the part. The majority of pieces do not need support.įor printing the pointed rooftops, it is important to ensure the printed part has adequate cooling.
I printed with 0.06 mm layer heights, at low print speeds to ensure maximum detail. I was able to print successfully using Cura and selecting the appropriate ‘Mesh Fixes’. Carefully inspect your GCODE preview before sending to your printer! The final layer was stippled with a brush to give the ripple texture.įlaws in the STL files may cause slicing errors.
#Castle layout mod
Water effects are accomplished with a painted base board, and covered with a few brushed-on layers of gloss Mod Podge. The trees were made from painted pipe cleaners. I used Woodland Scenics fine turf (green grass) for ground cover.
#Castle layout series
Rocks were painted with a series of grey washes (diluted paint). I was able to fill gaps between the seperate pieces effectively with a white wood filler and fine sand paper.
#Castle layout full
See the full 'Printing and Assembly Guide' included in the files as a PDF. I make no promises that the whole model will be repaired, and progress will be very slow, but I plan to work through them, as time permits.
The file names of the replaced pieces will be followed by an “-r”. The repaired files will be replacing the originals one by one, as I complete the repairs. * UPDATE: I have begun the slow process of fully repairing individual pieces (properly combining intersecting meshes, making parts fully manifold and correcting other mesh errors). With the appropriate Mesh Fixes selected, I was able to make everything to work in Cura 3.0.4. Nevertheless, Cura is fully capable of interpreting the files. intersecting meshes, non manifold geometries), and may cause errors when slicing. I apologise. Unfortunately, my STLs are imperfect (e.g. It is not an exact reproduction, particularly with respect to the rock formations, but it attempts to replicate the major features as faithfully as possible. Tower elevations and other details were obtained from film stills and photographs of the model displayed at the Harry Potter studio tour in London. The design is based on the castle layout plan included in the book ‘Harry Potter: Page to Screen’, which represents the version of Hogwarts used in ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’. This is my rendition of Hogwarts Castle, as it appears in the Harry Potter film series.
