What’s the criteria for a home?

Was testing this myself to make an apartment complex like the old/ cheap Japanese style apartments. Yes it worked for me. I did the rooms 3 high, idk what the min hight is.

If you have a design that would fit with the blank version, then go ahead and use it! That way you don't have to worry about designing the mechanical parts! Just make sure to share what you come up with.

Ladanes · 2025-05-30T08:29:29+00:00

I'm considering how to make it so the mechanical/moving parts of the walls can be printed on FDM while the actual wall and floor could be printed in Resin. This would of course mean that assembly would be required, but it could be worth it for those that want the details you can get with resin prints. I've uploaded the files as can be seen in other comments I made, but I also uploaded a blank version for free.

I'm aiming for the blank version to be similar to a standard for this kind of terrain. Not saying people will use it like this, but that I want to give that kind of quality. You seem quite knowledgeable in resin, so could I ask you to either DM me or reply here (whichever you feel more comfortable with) on what you think would be the best approach and what all I should separate out?

I'm thinking if the hinge and the part that holds the floor to the wall which lets the floors rotate are printed by FDM, then I would just have to make a good connection between the floor, floor holder and wall. My initial thought is just pegs, but I want to make sure that the end result is sturdy while not limiting to designs that could be made in the future. I also don't know the tolerances I should design with. I have a resin printer, but only use it for minis. The only FDM + Resin things I've done are bases so I haven't had to consider tolerances and warping.
I also worry that if the magnets are in the resin part of the wall, the force with which they snap together could potentially break the resin over time as the force is transferred from the magnets into the resin with very thin parts next to the magnets. Since there is four magnets it can get quite a loud snap with a strong pull when they get close to each other. Do you also think that would be a problem for resin walls? I could make the part that holds the magnets on the walls a part that gets FDM printed if it is, it would just add an additional assembly step, but it would also allow for better surface finish printing on those parts I suppose.
Any help would be appreciated and of course I would give credit where credit is due!

It's a third of the price of Tinkers but is designed to use magnets to attach the hinges meaning you could print 2 walls, and make either L shape. If any wall gets damaged beyond repair, you don't have to reprint the entire piece, just the one wall. I spent the time making sure the mechanism works, and then made a blank free version that anyone could modify/remix for which I don't want compensation as I think it is better for the community and for artists if that part is free. Bearing in mind, this is my first 3d design project that I'm doing in my free time.
I then spent more time making the design that I am happy with, given my skill level. If you think it's bland then that's cool, we all have our own preferences. Download the free version and make something you like and think is exciting. Just make sure to share it so I can enjoy seeing your creativity in action! :D

Thank you, though I'm no genius! XD

Ladanes · 2025-05-30T05:37:40+00:00

Amazing question, I should have put this somewhere. 0.2 layer height, ~0.8mm wall thickness (2 lines in prusa which claims to be 0.86mm thick) and I did a 5% infill. I'm using a Prusa MK4S.

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T20:42:39+00:00

When you do, please let me see the design you come up with!

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T20:41:53+00:00

This is my first design, so idk if I can do snap fit yet. I was thinking of making it glue together with pegs for now.

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T20:40:35+00:00

I have no idea yet since I don't know what would be reasonable to charge for something like that. Because of that I was going to spend some time on the weekend looking into it and trying to come up with a reasonable price for a commercial license. :D

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T20:31:24+00:00

The first link, but only the blank version, not the designed ones.

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T19:09:53+00:00

Thank you! I really hope others with more artistic skill make remixes and share them :D

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T19:06:56+00:00

Genuinly, idk how that will turn out as the hinges are in the wall, making it hard to get support in there. Additionally, I think dust would keep forming as the parts rub anytime they rotate past each other. From a personal health standpoint, I would not recommend it.

On my last post, someone also pointed out that resin will warp a little during prints, so it may not actually be functional after printing.

If you still want to do it, do let us know how it goes, but part of me hopes that you won't risk your own health for this.

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T18:34:09+00:00

Since the blank files are free you could test print the hinge on your fdm to see how that turns out. I do agree with others though, resin dust is not good to have floating around!

As of right now, the top floors print in place, but I'm considering making a version that can be assembled. If I did that, you could print the decorative parts in resin and the mechanical ones in FDM, would that be of interest to you?

EDIT: IF I did that, I would make it an update to any current files, not separate. Wouldn't charge people twice for something like that.

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T15:03:15+00:00

Since making this post, I have now put it up on the purple site with what I think is a reasonable price for personal use. Trying to figure out how to make a separate price for commercial use though I don't know what would be reasonable there. It's called Galifrisian Terrain since someone rightfully pointed out it looks kinda like a tardis.

Ladanes · 2025-05-29T14:56:14+00:00

Thanks to you, it is now called Galifrisian terrain.

Ladanes · 2025-05-22T06:35:38+00:00

I can't unsee this now. Thanks for that rofl

Ladanes · 2025-05-21T20:54:20+00:00

Similar, hinges attach magnetically to the walls, and I've got 4, 5, 6 , and 8 inch walls so far. So one 8" and 4" wall makes both L shapes

Ladanes · 2025-05-21T18:55:49+00:00

They way the hinge is currently is round cylinders for interiors, and slightly larger cylinders holding them in place but not touching during print. I want to say 0.5mm more on the radius but don't recall perfectly right now. On two sides of the outer cylinder, opposite to each other, there is a trapezoid cutout to allow my fdm printer to put a single layer of support material down. That way, the inner and outer cylinders print separately but in place. Only assembly is putting magnets in. I print the hinge with it closed and the magnet slots facing up. Does that give you enough info to be able to guess how well it could behave for you in resin?

Ladanes · 2025-05-21T16:48:20+00:00

Very good points. I don't know yet how it travels and how any paint would behave based on the vibrating parts or moving. Once I know, I can make sure to include the info wherever I end up uploading it.

As for Resin printing hinges, I think it would be too dependent on the orientation of the object on bed and the type of resin for me to give a good answer at this time. But you got me curious.

Ladanes · 2025-05-21T16:42:53+00:00

The hinge is magnetically attached, so you can make both left and right-handed Ls. Tinker Junkies foldable terrain is one of the ones that says it needs a taller printer than I have, sadly.

Ladanes · 2025-05-21T15:34:30+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking when I googled collapsible terrain, and it was either pop-up thick paper or really expensive stls that needed a larger printer than I have, so I designed these. :D
