Good Stuff!

I finally finished printing all the pieces to make the 3 story stair case for the House Beside the RR. I had to split the stair so 6 scale inches of step would be attached to the railing and the rest of the steps as a second part. I did this so I could 3D print it all without having any supports on the spindles. Removing supports from small parts often results in destruction of the support AND the parts. This greatly complicated the printing. Also complicating the printing was finding spindles that would actually form properly with enough strength to be handleable. The cellar door is 3D printed. The wall it's on is styrene sheet and the other wall is foam core. I'm going to use foam core for most of the interior walls. I've also printed fancy baseboards. Of course, none of this stuff will be very easy to see in the building.

I will build up all the walls surrounding the stairs and install the whole thing as a module. There is also a railing surrounding the opening in the attic floor. Designing and printing the reverse-curved railing was a challenge.

HBTRR Attic Rails

After some more design work, I found that I need one more railings set to guard the space into the stairwell on the second floor. I will print another attic rail set since I already know that it will print perfectly and then cut what I need to do this little bit more.
