About this model
This is an experimental piece, mostly a design challenge to myself to work on techniques for making complex snap-together multi-part models. The goals of the design were as follows: Game-accurate color with all colors due to the intrinsic color of the plastic and no painting required. No directional bias in the assembled piece, such as you see with all-one-piece cubes with different finish on the sides versus top due to the nature of the print process. This means each corner, edge, and face piece is indivudually printed flat on the bed. No unavoidable seams. The only seams between pieces are at borders between one color and another. All snap-together, with no glue required. Revised version posted now really holds together well. As a result of these goals this is a fairly complex print, wit…
