Simple Japanese Pagoda

🇯🇵 日本へようこそ!

Welcome to Japan!

This was modeled by Dany Sánchez.

This easy 3D print represents a typical Japanese 5-story pagoda used to store several buddhist relics, similar to the ones seen in the Hōkan-ji Temple in Kyōto, or the Sensō-ji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo.

This is a simple version, made in Tinkercad several years ago. it's very easy to print without supports or hassle.

You can download a more complex, ultra-detailed version here.

About Japanese Pagodas

Japanese pagodas are very similar to Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean ones in style, the Chinese being the historical inspiration and model for all others, and in turn, is a reinterpretation of the Indian stupa.

Kyoto's Yasaka-no-to Pagoda is a 15th-century addition to a 6th-century temple complex known as Hōkan-ji Temple. It is a popular tourist attraction of the city, and one of its most photographed landmarks (from Wikipedia).

Printing Tips

Suggested parameters:

For better details, print slow, such as 15 or 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: as low as 12%

No supports needed. 

Each floor is numbered to ease correct assembly. Each floor is slightly smaller than the previous one, for a tapered effect.

Use glue for a permanent assembly.

Color printing is possible with a regular setup (without MMU) if printing floors 1 to 4 at once using the pause-and-change filament method from black to red mid print. The same can be done for the top spire alone, changing from black to gold.
