Eared chair" (true to scale)

*Genuine German furniture measured and digitized by hand. *

The ear chair is a magnificent piece of seating furniture with a large upholstered seat. Special features are the turned front legs cut into the sides and the two ears on the backrest. A groove runs parallel to the edge of the ears. The two balls at the top of the backrest add the finishing touches to this piece of jewelry. The original colors of the chair are the wooden parts in rustic oak and the seat cushion has a light orange and pink floral fabric.

A piece of furniture with a story is now ready for your 3D printer. With different scales, they can embellish their model world.

Scale

All my furniture models are true to scale. With the 2 preconfigured scales you can make your scale diorama.

If you already have your own scale, you can use the 1:1 scale file to reduce it to your individual scale.

History of the original

This chair was given to us in September 2003 by our family doctor at the time. There were two of them. As I was admiring this chair, my father sat down after a hard day's work and it went CACK! My father was taken aback and looked at the seat from underneath. The cheap chipboard under the upholstery had broken into a nice cross-shaped crack. To this day, there is now an ear chair with and without upholstery.

This model belongs to my collection "Die Struckmannsakte"

Instructions for loosening the support structure

if you have a dual extruder, use water-soluble support structure. Because loosening conventional support structure is tricky. Otherwise, here is a procedure that I use:

Removing the fixed support structure on the seating furniture models:

Removing the support structure requires a little patience and dexterity. Depending on the size of the scale, the support must be removed piece by piece.

First remove the object from the print bed with a sharp spatula. Then remove the brim from below. Do not hold the model by the chair legs but by the edge of the seat or the support structure. These could break off at small scales. The brim must be completely removed until the chair legs are no longer connected to the support structure.

Important Hold the chair by the side of the seat

Carefully cut or pull off the supports that have formed on the sides above the chair rungs in the direction of the layer if possible.

Then use a small side cutter to make individual vertical incisions in the tree support structure from below and then carefully remove the support structure layer by layer.

Once you have almost reached the bottom of the seat, lever off the rest with a narrow spatula and make sure that the support structure does not push the chair legs to the side, as something could break off just before the finish.

Reworking

Remove the pimples on the lower edge of the chair back with a half-round key file or a pointed carving knife. Always work with the knife away from the body due to the risk of injury.
