++FREE++ Spool Tower test file - Ye Olde Taxidermee Shoppee

Please see our blog post and short story for more information on the complete STL file set and how to get your grubby little hands on this modular terrain construction system.

Digital Taxidermy has an extreme dislike for waste, we identified that empty filament spools and ends of filament are the biggest issue with 3D printing. To combat this we took this problem with 3D printing and made it into the foundation of your collection. These spool towers take the structure provided by old spools and we provide you with a way to upcycle them by 3D printing facades that are designed to print with less than 10% (100g) of a filament reel to make an entire layer.

We have incorporated the design ideas from our past 3D printable terrain and construction kit experiments to make an interconnected hive of platforms and towers to enhance your gaming experience.

 

This free STL file download contains STL samples for our spool tower Kickstarter, these free 3D models give you everything you need to make a single layer of a spool tower designed to be the outside of our taxidermy outlet in a fantasy setting.

Please do download and try these STL models out, we would love to hear your feedback. If you are so inclined then hop over to our Facebook group for The Digital Taxidermists and show us how you got on with them.

This free file set has a fantasy theme but the Kickstarter contains 3D models that span a wide range of styles and settings including fantasy, industrial, Sci-Fi and Gothic. We hope to have most settings covered and allow you to make a varied backdrop for your minis and to clutter up you gaming table with large multi-level playable structures.

Oh and did I mention lighting, these file come with versions that will allow you to add lights as well, most of the panels in the Kickstarter will have options to add. Small LED light strings inside them.
