Dropzone Building Parts

thingiverse

First things first: Credit to Beavertank for the original mod. This is my remix of the Dropzone Commander scale building files, with extra options and side tabs removed for smoother construction. I found with the original that my printer made the tabs oversize, resulting in jagged building faces. These files have flat sides to make alignment more flexible. These files are grouped by feature and will combine with the original designs vertically, should you wish. Now there are 3 full extra sets over the original files. Print Settings Printer: M3D Micro Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: Low Infill: Low Notes: Print standing up for best resolution. I found that rafts and supports weren't necessary for any of the parts. I print at 91% scale as that is closer to DZC cardboard building size, but that is just personal preference. On my Micro it takes about 30 mins for each rooflet, 40 mins for each middle floor part, 60 mins for each ground floor part. Post-Printing Assembly Superglue parts together, I started with the roof (using sheet styrene instead of printing a large flat surface) and place a non-corner piece aligned with the roof panel edge. Then add pieces one-by-one around the edge to make the building, then add floors one by one. Alternatively, glue parts to a piece of foamcore to build a side, for each side. Then add a roof. Remember to leave gaps at each end for the foamcore!
