Lighthouse Housenumber sign - cheated version

The original build would have taken too long to print for a next day present, so I rummaged the garage and found an unused standard pvc water pipe. 50cm long , 11cm diameter. With this as a base for a lighthouse I only had to print the top section(s), some windows a door and the housenumbers of course.

Instructions

Yoe need:

• a pvc waterpipe 11cm diameter
• a waterpipe endcap (optional)

I spray painted the pvc pipe white, and found a rest of adhesive red lamination sheets I made the red rings of.

Then I printed

1x rail

1x torch

1x roof

and hot glued them together, and hot glued them on the wider top of the pipe.

3x windows

1x door

the inner part of these matches the diameter of the pipe, I printed them standing upright, and hotglued them to fitting places of the lightouse. (note: I cut the upper part of the windows because they came out too cutesy for my taste)

x housenumbers.

I printed mione flat so they dont follow the curve of the pipe, because I liked the look better. They are not included in the download, but super simple to create. Of course you can buy ready done housenumbers and glue them to the lighthouse.

stability.

I filled the pipe halfway with pebblestones and closed the lower end wit a fitting endcap I had around. Just putting it over a 2L waterbottle does the same job.
