3D printing a model of my house: tips needed

SketchUp 3D Printing
1

Hi there,

I have modeled my house in Sketchup (floors and walls only), and I’m planning on printing it. I have some questions:

  1. Will I have I problem with vertical, thin walls? https://19216811.cam/
  2. I’d like it to be bigger than my printer’s print area. Any idea on how to best join parts of the house?
  3. Any other tips?

Design your walls as you would for construction, with outer skins, and use a low percentage infill. Build each wall individually. Build a floor and ceiling with slots to correspond to your wall setout to hold it together. That’s one way in brief, but hopefully that will get you thinking.
