PREMIUM N Scale Винтажная пожарная станция (эст. 1914)

This is a custom designed 3D replica of a vintage century old Fire Station located in St. Vital, Manitoba, Canada. Erected in 1914, the station housed both the St. Vital Police and Fire Departments, the latter of which first began operating with three horse-drawn carriages and six firemen. At the rear were stables for horses which drew the wagons and sleighs up until the 1930's at which point pumper trucks were used. The first fire truck appeared in 1923 with the purchase of an REO Speedwagon.

The model comes fabricated in PLA Plastic with a choice of colors as shown and is ready for your personalized touch of additional paint and weathering. No glue is required as all parts simply and easily snap into place.

More than a year was spent perfecting product design methods and fabrication processes to produce these beautifully crafted N Scale models of real world buildings and structures. The process begins by carefully examining Google Earth and Google Street View images in order to obtain accurate dimension measurements and scaling for the targeted model. Next, utilizing CAD software, a digital replica of the model is created employing meticulous design guidelines painstakingly developed through countless prototyping iterations. The resulting premium digital file is now ready for fabrication. In the final step the physical PLA plastic model slowly comes to life one layer at a time on the heated bed of an FDM 3D Printer which has been finely tuned and optimized to reproduce the highest possible quality.

Other services:
Custom 3D model design and fabrication of almost any building or structure less than 100 ft in length and width. Must be clearly visible on Google Street View or be provided with photographs and dimensions. Please inquire.

Warning: When printed these models contain small plastic pieces that may present a choking hazard to small children. Recommended age is 10+ years.

SLICER SETTINGS for FDM 3D PRINTING

STL files are provided with and without designed-in support structures. I prefer using the designed-in supports but you can use slicer supports if you prefer.

The delicate window frames and signage required well tuned slicer settings for best results. Here are the Cura slicer settings I used on my 3D printer with exceptional results:
