Fortín de Heredia - Costa Rica

🇨🇷 ¡Bienvenidos a Costa Rica!

Welcome to Costa Rica!

This model was designed by Andres Cacho in 2018.

This “fortín”, meaning small fortress or tower is located in the city of Heredia. It was built in 1876 and was originally meant to be part of a larger building. It has been restored several times due to damage from the elements and earthquakes (from Wikipedia).

For better details, print slow, such as 15 or 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
