Here's a scaled, well detailed version inspired of Lou's Cafe, in Back to the future ep.1.

The scale is 1/64, which is Hot Wheels & Matchbox size.

I made many searches on the internet to find as many images as possible. I have detailed the building as much as i could with FDM limitations in mind. I have make a tons of measurements with only one photo in hand, which had the car of Biff Tannen on it.

Using the 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe spec sheets as references for the length and height, i have made some "measurements" on the most important details (like the front windows) to have them to scale as much as possible.

Very few exterior pictures of the cafe were on the web. But with the picture i mentionned above, plus some other dioramas on the web and some other builds of the same cafe, i was able to pull all the parts necessary to make this incredible build.

I wish i could say its support free. But its unfortunately not. The main buildings need supports, and its indicated in the file names of each part requiring supports.

All the parts are already placed in the right orientation for best printing.

Also, i have included the color of the parts in the file name. When you have (i.e) White+Black, it means that the file requires a color change during the print.

Its also my biggest kit to date: 53 different files, and a total of 70 pieces to print. (see last picture)

Its not my easiest model, but 25 detailed exploded views are included which makes the whole thing much easier.

Follow the instructions carefully, make some dry fit check before gluing to be sure things fit together, and everything should be easy to do in the end! ;)

Files were tested more than one time and many iterations were made, but if you are experiencing any kind of problem, send me a message.

I'm sorry for not having a DeLorean or a real Ford Super Deluxe Coupe for the pictures lol, but my 1949 Buick Roadmaster did the job almost perfectly! :p

More Hill Valley's buildings to come! Some will be posted here, some will be patreon exclusive! Follow me here to stay informed or join my patreon.

Keep printing and have fun! :)
