Lighthouse (fyr) from Närsholmen in Gotland (Sweden)

This is a fully self-designed (in Fusion 360) lighthouse, 1.3 meters high, 3D printed on a large Hypercube with 0.2 layers - yes it took a long time to print!
I found several pictures of a lighthouse in Gotland (Sweden) and that was the one that I wanted to make, to put over an ugly pipe that was sticking out of our lawn.

You will need a large printer, about 35x35cm, to be able to print it full-size.

For the light, I used 3 garden solar lights and glued them in the roof. Together with the windows (printed in transparent PETG) this gives a very nice effect!

I also casted a concrete foot where the whole lighthouse is connected to, so that it would stay up.

The different colors were done with filament swaps (M600). The tower is not glued together, there are plates inside (glued) that keep all parts together.
