…........----- N Scale Single Story Store or Restaurant ---

=========================================

You can find all the files to 3D print this object and others on my thingiverse.com account ( HERE ).

This is a single story brick building that could be a store or a restaurant. You can print the side walls where they could be used on either side of the building or you could use either side wall on both sides.

When viewing the pictures remember that this is an N Scale object and is quite a bit smaller than the picture you are seeing if you are viewing on a computer monitor. For instance from more than 15 inches or so it gets hard to see the actual bricks on the model. You know it is a brick wall but you don't really see the individual bricks but the model as a whole.

I glued the building together with CA and filled the seams somewhat with Loctite Super Glue Ultragel Control and then when that set up finished filling the seams with Tamiya putty and sanded it flat.

You also have the option of printing the building as a complete unit but as you see that has some drawbacks in how the side wall will look.

Not sure if this is something that will happen with all filament printers but with the Ender 3 Pro the brick walls that lay in the 'Y' plane of the printer bed and head don't look as good as the front and rear walls that print in the 'X' plane. You notice it mostly in the brick detail as seen above.

There will be a roof print file with maybe some detail on it but the roof could also be made from styrene or another medium.

The small windows on the back wall and the one on the side wall have a horizontal bar in the middle of the window. Be careful removing the supports so as to not damage them.

There are print files for both side walls that are 'mirror' images of themselves. That allows you to pick and choose which you want to print so that you can use either wall on either side of the building or on both sides. For instance if the building has buildings on both sides use the blank wall above on both sides as there would then be no windows or doors on the building's side walls.

Above you can see what happens with the printed brick pattern depending on if the wall is printed in the 'Y' or 'X' plane on the printer. I'll probably use the whole print option when the side walls won't be very visible on the layout as it takes the gluing step out of the procedure.
