N Gauge New print

Its been a busy couple of weeks, and haven't had a chance to do any prints. It also took me the last couple of weeks to get the next design done.

So here is what the design looks like at the time of slicing

As you can see this should be a signal box for a model railway! So next was to print it out. You can see the result of the print below


As you can see from this picture the print ended up being slanted towards the top part of the walls (the roof was fine), This was the second attempt at the part, as the first did the same. The first time I thought this was down to skipping, but I kept an eye on this on the second time and could not hear the printer skip. The only difference between this part and the previous house was the wall thickness!.


You can see the wall thickness is thin, it has been set to 1mm, previously wall thickness was 2.5mm for the other building. Therefore I am going to repeat the print but with an increased wall thickness of 2mm (Here I was hoping to save on filament!
