INTRO for BEGINNERS:

These buildings are designed for FDM printers that can print in vase mode / VMT / Spiralize Outer Contour. Basically, its a setting that tells your printer to make a gigantic plastic cup.

I'm providing you a bunch of building-shaped gigantic plastic cups to print and play with. Gift them to all your friends, unmerge the mesh and remix them to make gigantic-er plastic cups, just don't be weird and sell them.

ACTUAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Import one STL of your choice into your slicer, enable the spiralize outer contour setting, and print. This terrain does not need supports or infill. Print one STL at a time.

FYI the buildings come upside down on purpose. It's so the cup bottoms become rooftops. The prints' walls are 1 layer thick, so be careful not to crush them once they're done.

TIPS

• Mirror everything for 2x the building variety.
• Reinforce the cups with pinkfoam or something if you want.
• A soldering iron can be used to weld rips back together.
• Glue some popsicle sticks into the slots on highline for the desired height.
• Melt the walls with a soldering iron to make cool ruins.
• Buy some HO scale trees for decorating.
• Hide minis/objectives/ruins inside each building.
