Wow! I am always so impressed by the skill of others and you have done a spectacular job on this! Truly humbling to see what you have accomplished! Great job!!
As I read this, I feel humbled that you took the time to look at my post and respond. You made my night! Thank You!
I have no comprehension of how a 3-D printer works. It blows my mind. And then I see what you are doing and my mind gets blown the rest of the way!! I’m glad you are painting it. If you left it white, I’m afraid it would get really dirty with dust, etc. The paint will help with that. This is AMAZING!
Thanks Ferg… When I first got the printer, someone could have told me it was running on Magic and Pixie Dust and I would have believed them
It took a while, but now I know that the Great and Wonderful Oz is nothing more then a guy behind a curtain. Nothing magical at all, just a robot running on motors. You bring up a good point. We are looking to have a custom display case made for it to keep the dust off but here in my area, plexiglass requires you to remortgage a house. If anyone here knows how to get some cheap plexiglass that will work for the castle, or possibly even willing to send me some, I can print something for you in exchange within reason. Just a thought
Hi Again All!!!
For those that have been following along with the Castle build, He are a few updates.
After working on the pillars to project “Once Upon a Time” and “Happily Ever After” I printed some quick pillar prototypes to check scale. Not 100% happy with them but with a little modifying they will look great!. I have to say, the side pillars looked amazing when projecting the new shows. (Can’t wait to share those videos)
I am also designing the restrooms that are attached to the second pillar you see while at the Magic Kingdom. This is also coming together nicely.
Annnnnd… Thanks to an amazing designer Tuan Vu,
I was able to use his Stage files and with a bit of modifying, seen below, I started printing the full stage in the front of the castle. I re-designed it so that I could remove the section of the bridge that was already printed and attach it to the castle when needed. It would attach with railings to the existing Castle and slide right on the bridge. These will be 6 pieces at 12 – 18 hours a piece. As you can see, by one of the pics labeled, “Failed parts”. The downside of this project is each of those parts where 12 hours of printing and only after, did I realize my design needs tweaking. Did this twice before getting it right.
This happens a lot 
So.. With some trees to throw in some color and some buses to boot, Things are shaping up!
Will keep ya updated! Bob
@twinbob What program are you using and how hard is it to learn how to model?
I would not be ashamed to ask a price in the 3 digits.
Okay then, $1.50 it is. (Think he bought it?)

I’m with him! This is unbelievably incredible! Especially with the projections too! I would have believed that was footage from the Magic Kingdom! What an interesting and unique hobby! I do not have the time or patience for that
