Description
The Chillon Castle (Château de Chillon) is a medieval castle built on a small island near the eastern end of Lake Geneva, south of Veytaux in the Swiss canton of Vaud, near Montreux and Villeneuve. Chillon is amongst the most visited medieval castles in Europe. Successively occupied by the House of Savoy since the 11th century and by the Bernese from 1536 until 1798, it now belongs to the canton de Vaud and is classified as a Swiss Cultural Property of National Significance.
It was ethically restored in the 19th century and it is now one of the best preserved feudal architecture examples in Europe (from Wikipedia).

No supports.
This can be printed in colors easily with pauses for color change without MMU/AMS. Start with blue for the water, then a grey for the rocky foundation, then beige for the actual building.
If using MMU/AMS, then it's even easier and more possibilities are open. Each surface to color is easy to paint in your slicer.
We recommend a slight fuzzy skin to recreate the rock wall and tile roof textures. You can also select which faces to apply this effect to in your slicer.Â
No rafts or brims needed, a base with rounded corners has been added to provide good adhesion
Infill: 15%, lightning pattern ok.
