Assembly (Based on my photos build)
The car is just placed on top of the display.
Check out my assembly video to give you a better idea on how the build suppose to go: https://youtu.be/FOUDgsap1z4
Step 1: Base Build
Print the following base and flat base:
- Base - Giant.STL
- FlatBase.STL
- OutsideWall.STL
The flat base should fit nicely on top of the base, aligned it so that the base support for the base can still be seen. It is recommended to use tape or glue to hold it in place, the outside wall can be glue now too.
Step 2: House Build
There are multiple subfolders in the "House" folder, start with the "walls" folders first.
Print the following walls:
- Back.STL
- BrickFront.STL
- DoorArea.STL
- Front.STL
- Side-Left.STL
- Side-RightV2.STL
The general shape of the house can be build with these parts printed. Slide the walls into the gap provided at the flat base and base to make sure it fits. DO NOT GLUE THE WALLS AT THIS POINT!
"BrickFront.STL" is a simple piece with some brick like details to fit into the gap provided under the main window at the front walls.
Install all the window frames and door frames to the walls. All the files can be found at "Door & Frames" subfolder.
Print the following parts:
- DoorArea - Door.STL
- DoorArea -SideWindow.STL
- MainWindowFrame + Balcony.STL
- MainWindowFrame2.STL
- SideDoorFrame.STL
- SideWindowFrame - Small.STL (x2)
- SideWindowFrame+Balcony.STL (x2)
All window and door fram should fit nicely to the gaps provided, if it falls off too easily use glue or tape to hold it in place.
Next is print the interior walls and floor, the parts can be found at "Floor & Interior Floors" folder.
Print the following parts:
- GroundFloor - Floor Only.STL
- GroundFloorWalls.STL
- OutsideFloor.STL
- UpstairsFloor - Floor Only.STL
- UpstairsFloor - Walls.STL
Remove one of the side walls then slide the "ground floor - floor" into the house and make sure it fits into the building. Put the side wall back then place the "Outside Floor" at the main door. "Ground Floor Walls" will fit into the groove provided on the flat base then place the "Upstairs Floor - Floor Only" on top of the walls and "Door Area" supports. "Upstairs Floor - Walls" will be place on top of the up stairs floor.
Step 3: Roof & Shop Sign Build
Roof & Sign:
- Roof - Alternate.STL
- ShopSign - Flat.STL
- ShopSignDetails - Emperor Penguin Tofu.STL
The roof will slightly overlap the windows, this is by design.
Step 4: Exterior & Interior Props (Optional)
All the exterior and interior props are optional. The parts found in both folder are simple shelf, table, ladder, barrel and a electric pole. Print them put them wherever it fits best for you.
