Tibetan Pagoda

thingiverse

The story goes like this: I received a season pass for Disney World for Xmas, and went to Animal Kingdom near the end of January. While walking on one of the trails to see animal exhibits, I noticed each corner had these little, 2-3 foot tall pagodas that were setup to be lights or lanterns along the path, however, there were no lights in them. I figure it was a failed attempt by Disney, but they left the pagodas. I took pictures of a bunch of them and decided to try and model a few. I ended up spending 6+ hours making one just to get all the detail in the filigree on the top and you are seeing the end result. WARNING: The Hi-Poly files are very large and would lock up my Slic3r for a while. I suggest only using them if you plan to upscale the modelby 200% or more. I have printed it in all the individual pieces, but have not tried the whole thing as one. It is designed to print as a whole (see the 3D view of the top stepped piece to see the cavity inside so you don't need supports). -There is a two part version (labeled "TwoPart") that should stop complications with the top of the piece becoming mush (print the top and bottom together in one go). There's already a Rev B of the Two Part lower. I missed a chamfered edge that would have caused your printer to bridge a 2cm gap. Look for more Pagodas soon...
