Fireman Sam Inspired, Solar Powered Fire Station

thingiverse

My son is obsessed with the animated show "Fireman Sam", and his absolute favorite toys are two fire trucks, so I decided to make a fire station for the trucks, inspired by the one in the series. It's not a scale replica, it's just inspired by the series. The construction is prepared for cheap solar powered LED's meant for gardens, with roughly 47mm diameter (of the inner plastic housing displayed in the picture). I also include square holders if you want to disassemble the garden lights more and make it look nicer, I had to rush this build so I decided to keep the lights as intact as possible, just placing them on the roof. <b>Note!</b> You can use the pre-assembled STL's for the solar holders/boxes and for the roofs! Then the roof parts are connected by a 1mm thick piece so you easily can break them apart after printing. Printing is very straight forward, I used the fast profile in Slic3r Prusa Edition, which means 0,35mm layer height. I got a few bad spots on the surfaces but nothing too bad. You can of course go for finer resolution if you print this, but in my opinion going below 0,25mm is just a waste of time. Use low infill, 5-10% for the walls and 15% for the base plate.
