3D model description
Introducing a beautifully designed 3D printed lighthouse model, crafted to bring a charming beachy feel to any space. This model stands at a height of approximately 600mm, carefully assembled from 38 individual 3D printed parts. Each piece has been pre-oriented for optimal printing. With its captivating design and thoughtful details, this lighthouse serves as a striking piece, evoking a delightful coastal atmosphere wherever it is placed.
Assembly Guide:
Print all the necessary parts, ensuring you have the correct quantity of each component as indicated by the filenames.
Follow this assembly sequence, building the lighthouse from the base up:
a. Begin with the lighthouse body. Use body A and body B if needed for smaller printers.
b. Glue the lighthouse doorway to the body, ensuring a secure fit.
c. Glue the lighthouse body to lighthouse 2.
d. Attach lighthouse 2 to lighthouse 3.
e. Lighthouse 5 should fit snugly inside lighthouse 2, 3.
f. Affix the top rail to lighthouse 4.
g. Connect the lighthouse main lens assembly with the 8 struts properly oriented against the glass and insert them into the top and bottom lens frame. Glue this completed lens assembly into lighthouse 5.
h. Build your LED strip globe and insert it into lighthouse 5, making sure to align the orientation correctly.
i. If needed, add a paper diffuser to enhance the lighting effect. Otherwise, attach the lighthouse roof.
j. Assemble the windows by inserting the frame, pane (paper), and LED diffuser. (if lighting windows, youd need to sort the wiring out at this point)
k. Affix the rail pieces to the lighthouse base and insert the door and hinge (you can use wire for a hinge or glue the door shut).
l. Join the lighthouse base and lighthouse doorway together, ensuring your wiring is in place if using electronics.
m. Add door trimmings.
n. Finally, add the base cover.

3D printing settings
Requires a bed size of 250x250x250mm to be printed full size.
Prints have been orientated in the correct positions for fdm printing, you will need supports in some areas but is very minimal overall.
I printed my railings without any supports.
IMPORTANT! - Door Handle for some reason will not scale correctly at 100% and must be printed at 10% scale to fit the rest at 100% (longest side should be 7.47mm).
