Assembly Instructions

            <div><ol><li>Install windows and doors</li><li>Install the stairs to the side of the house shell.

Then match the pillar bases to the house base.</li><li>Install the 2 roofs and the overhead garage door.</li><li>Done</li></ol></div>

How I Designed This

Why I use Tree Supports

            <div><p>I try and design these models trying to avoid using supports as much as possible. However, when doing shells and adding  some detail, supports are needed.  I have been 3d printing now for 5 years, and over that time, I have learned that how you set up your supports in the slicer is important as to how cleanly the supports come off the finished model.  Tree supports everywhere will take care of bridges from windows  and gaps that are not inline with the build plate. If you keep your  branch density to 10% it is much easier to break them off and have little clean up.  If you just need support inline with the build plate than support for touching build plate only is the right choice.  </p></div>
