Samurai Farmhouses

A modular set of farmhouses from old Japan, allowing you to create a wide variety of sizes and layouts of buildings. Print your expandable layout in 40mm-wide wall sections (18 main wall variations, PLUS 16 endwalls!), fit your choice of flooring, print your choice of modular roof, and add any exterior sections such as corridors or extra rooms. Tons of variations, so no two buildings need to look the same!

This downloadable ZIP file contains the following STL files :

This product will be delivered as a .ZIP file pack containing STL files for use on a home 3D Printer. The files are set to 28mm scale but can be rescaled before printing.

• All of the parts of this file can be printed on a 3D printer build plate of 150mm x 150mm (125mmx125mm for models released ~2023).
• All parts have manifold (3D-printable geometry) and have been test printed.
• Models designed for 28mm (1:64 scale) wargaming, but can be resized for other scales on your printer.

In case anyone else is having trouble with the sliding doors - I rescaled the z-axis dimension (the thickness of the door) to 80% in my slicing software. This allows the doors to be installed and slide easily. Surface detail is still good at 80%.

Every single one of these model files prints like a dream and they assemble easily.

I'm using a Creator Pro 2. 'Standard' settings work well but the files have enough extra detail in them to make some 'Fine' prints worthwhile. I used a raft for the roof sections to get nice flat mating surfaces for assembly.
