3D Printing an ENTIRE Medieval City (Miniature Diorama)
Рет қаралды 425,259
Күн бұрынI made a text RPG:
www.forgesaga.com
This video has it all, 3D printing, Scratch Building, XPS and EVA foam carving, painting, flocking, scenic grass/shrubs, and an epoxy resin art pour gone wrong.
Take a look at how this mix of techniques can bring the most detailed piece of terrain I've ever made.
Inspired by medieval cities with large complex networks of canals, such as Venice, or the fictional city of Stormwind from World of Warcraft.
The houses are viable to print on both resin and FDM printers, and they are a great way to spice up any diorama.
The board is built using 10mm scale to allow for much more detail condensed into a smaller footprint. Also known as N Scale in the model railway community.

Historical tip: to save money on building materials home builders had small footprints on the ground floor, and the 2nd floor was mostly made of wood with a floor plan that would over-hang the ground floor footprint. Some times a 3rd floor was added as the family grew or a business/ cottage industry had to grow. Sometimes those 3rd floors were close enough to the 3rd floors of neighbouring homes, neighbours could shake hands. E.g. City of York, U.K.

Houses were also taxed based on their footprint initially, but when people started expanding outwards on upper levels this was changed to a "window" tax, which would then base taxation levels on the quantity of livable rooms in a home.

This had a lot of other advantages early on as well. The overhang would help reduce the need for gutters to keep water away from the foundation, and provide dry storage space for outdoor items when a separate shed would not be practical. The 2nd floor weight being on the over-hanging timbers also reduced the need for internal structure and supporting walls that would otherwise be needed to support the floor above because they would naturally bow up-wards in the middle of the floor instead of collapsing down in the middle. Not the best design by today's standards, but pretty innovative for what they had to work with at the time.

Excellent project - I bought the files. One thought the design traps resin during printing. It might need a hole inserted so unused resin can drain out.

@CaedenV Жыл бұрын
Yeah, the more of these videos I watch, the more sold I am on the idea of moving to a smaller scale before I start my next campaign. I have wanted to kick things up a notch on the table pieces, but keeping things at a 5' to 1" scale just makes for massive props that require too much detailing, and take up too much space. Moving to a smaller scale just makes things waaaay more manageable to make in the first place while making things much more expansive.

Absolutely gorgeous, I've done a couple christmas villages in this scale (with trains!), looking at getting a good resin printer and inexpensive laser engraver to do houses and other details I couldn't do very well back in the day.

my crude sweet potatoe box diaramas seem so simple now ! But of course I don't have all the nice machines you have. I have made a few diaramas . So far a hot wheels scale classic pick-up truck scene with small Christmas trees in the back of the trucks. Spray snow and a winter sceen from a calendar of Swiss countryside. My second one is mini-Teepees with small pine trees and a calendar scene of a small buffalo and mountains in the background. I am pleased with them. But they are nowhere as cool as yours. Beautiful job. Thank you for inspiring me !

I think it's really great what you are doing with the 3D printing machine. I even gave you a thumbs up, but personally I am so much more impressed when people make these miniatures by hand, because I, like many other people who watch these videos don't have the funds to buy a 3D printer. Not saying that you don't work hard at it. I've seen others working on their computers and see how hard it is to make their ideas come to life. I'm just a retired man with little funds to do much and like to work with my hands and make something out of nothing. Wishing you the best in this new year. Sincerely, Jestunes
