Post-Printing

N scale Duplex

            <div><p>Like with all my designs. I always print them out first to make sure everything fits and finding design flaws before posting it on Thinigiverse. The pictures you see are rough but good fitting prints. The quality is not always there, as i will go back and reprint slowing down the printer to get better quality.  If I should make any design changes, I will repost the item.</p></div>

How I Designed This

1/160 scale multi family duplex

            <div><p>I am designing more N scale structures and buildings. This is the 2nd one I have designed. I know there is not a lot of detail, but with an FDM printer and at 1/160 scale, fine details are very hard to get. It is a start, and hopefully some of you other designers will help us N scalers out and design more buildings and structures so we have more options to choose from.  Below are some assembly and printing instructions. </p><p>Printing: I used tree supports for the shell and 2nd story entrance. The 2nd story entrance I found it best to lay it on the flat side. I tried it laying it on its back and standing up but was not happy with the results. Everything else just print normally. I used regular PLA through Cura slicer.</p><p>Assembly: </p><p>1.Put the windows and doors in first.</p><ol><li>Glue the shell to the base</li><li>Glue the 2nd story entrance next to the shell. The back should be lined up evenly with the back of the shell.</li><li>Glue the 2nd floor to the shell supports.</li><li>Glue on the Roof</li></ol><p>This Duplex measures around 85mm x 79mm x 60mm tall to the top of the peak of the roof.</p></div>
