6mm Residential Tower 1B - 9 Hexes by RainingFire

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

An apartment building designed to be 3D printed as terrain for 6mm tabletop gaming. This is an alternate version of a previous tower I posted. The first tower printed nearly perfectly with no supports at 0.12mm layer height on an FDM printer. This one should be the same, though you can probably decrease the resolution to 0.2mm or more.
I had already designed this when the first version was posted, but based on feedback have altered a few small things to make it even more easily printable. The ledges and window sills have larger bevels to prevent drooping. Otherwise the main difference with this design is that the rear of the building is slightly larger, allowing you to print both designs to add variety the look of your terrain.
The top of the building is large and flat enough to support a unit placed on top for all 9 hex locations. It is 3 levels tall if you're playing a specific mecha tabletop game.
The model units are in mm and it is scaled such that the hexes are 33mm from flat-to-flat, which is perfect for modern hex maps using 33mm hexes. You can always resize it if your hexes are slightly smaller/larger.
Please post pictures and leave feedback if you make this yourself! I'd love to see prints and use the feedback to adjust overhangs, detail levels, etc. on this model and future ones as well.
