The A Gothick Folly is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by Winslow. It recently occurred to me that the Gothic architectural style is particularly suited to 3D printing, as the typically pointed arches conveniently solve the problem of spanning. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
It recently occurred to me that the Gothic architectural style is particularly suited to 3D printing, as the typically pointed arches conveniently solve the problem of spanning open spaces without supports. A medieval cathedral seemed a little daunting, so I designed this folly. It is the kind of structure that might be found in the grounds of a large Victorian country house.

However, there are pegs and sockets to help with positioning, and a little Superglue wi…
