Description
This is a printable version of the old Planetstrike bastion for Warhammer 40k. The Planetstrike book, as well as a few White Dwarfs and other rules publications, showed massive fortresses built from multiple bastion kits- but at $60 each, that wasn't really an option for most people.
The main bodies of these bastions are vase mode printable- so not quite as detailed as the GW kits. However, you're able to do each section in about an hour, using very little filament. There are several different ways to combine the sections I've included so far, and I'm planning to update this with more options as they occur to me. You'll be able to set up a defense network to withstand orbital assault in no time!
As far as print settings- extrusion width at .8 (you can do this even with a stock .4 nozzle, or you can use a .8 nozzle), layer height at .2, vase mode. The ramparts are NOT vase mode printable- 2 walls 10 percent infill, .2 layer height should be plenty, still won't use much filament or time.
If you print this, please post a make! Would love to see the fortresses other people put together.
