Church

What You'll Need

• All printed parts (ensure they're fully cooled)
• Glue for plastic models
• Optional: Fine sandpaper (220-400 grit)
• Optional: Primer and paint

General Assembly & Finishing Guidelines

• The entire model can be printed using a single filament color (for example, white). After printing, it is recommended to lightly sand any rough surfaces and remove possible stringing to achieve a smoother finish.
• For a more realistic or customized appearance, the model can be painted using acrylic paints. Spray paint (including graffiti spray) may also be an option, although this has not yet been tested and is therefore used at your own discretion.
• If you prefer a multicolor result, you can print the model using different filaments. The design allows certain parts to be printed separately for this purpose.

Step-by-Step Assembly

1. Preparation: Clean up any support material and rough edges with sandpaper
2. Base Structure: Glue all the Window frames and Door frame to walls. Also glue the church Tower
3. Video instructions:

Recommended Settings

• Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.3mm (I printed with 0.3 with Matte filament)
• Infill: 10-15% for structural strength
• Supports: This model doesn't need supports (even the displays can be printed without - just mind the overhang settings)
• Print Speed: 30-40mm/s for initial layer, then up to 150mm/s. Slow down for final Layers (when printing bricks).
• Wall Count: 2-4 walls for strength
• Temperature: PLA 200-210°C, PETG 230-240°C

Material Recommendations

• PLA: Best choice for detailed Victorian ornaments, easy to paint
• Colors: White, Red, Black
• Finish: Consider matte finish filament to reduce layer lines

Special Effects & Details

• This model is hollow, I recommend gluing white baking paper an the inside, especially if you plan on adding lights. It will diffuse light for a warmer effect
• Add tiny LED string lights in windows for magical glow
• Apply snow texture to roof peaks and railings using white texture paint
• Add miniature wreaths to doors using tiny dots of green paint
