Description
Here is another paperweight, a tiny roman fort with some barracks inside. Imagine it as guarding the frontier wall at the edge of the world, in the middle of nowhere.
The scale here again is 1:288, identical to the castle paperweights.
Using an FDM printer at 0.15mm layer size and 0.4mm nozzle this printout takes 13-14 hours to complete. Had to adjusted thickness of some of the walls in the individual component parts until it worked at 0.4mm nozzle size. Also, the base is quite large (ca. 11x11cm), so I found that a bit of extra care with plate temperature and leveling was needed to ensure proper adhesion and prevent warping. See the result in the attached picture.
A low poly version of this castellum was turned into a playable game at the followuing link: https://play.unity.com/mg/other/the_wall_3
