Summary

An American style backyard shed to keep the lawn mower or small garden tractor in.

This Shed can be printed in PLA or ABS. It was designed to be printed in ABS plastic - although PLA is not as prone to warping or sagging - if parts are not properly cooled during the printing process. PLA is more prone generally - to stringing if the machines retraction distance is not up to par. I use a retraction value of 1mm typically.

If you are printing in ABS on a standard filament extrusion printer such as the Creality Series of printers (Ender 3, Ender 5, CR10, etc.) - make sure that you print your parts in an enclosure or heat tent - such as the tent sold by Creality For it's Ender series printers - and that your heating bed is properly pre-heated. Also - make shore that you print at a relatively slow or modest speed.

It is also a good idea to use a bed adherence agent as they are sold on Amazon, Ebay, and from shop's like Microcenter - or you could even use the water based purple Elmer's school glue stick (for experienced printer people only).

Always make sure that your bed / heating surface is properly levelled. If you decide to print the roof or the door(s) with the model part in a vertical rather than horizontal posture - you might want to use a raft.

At this date (05/13/2022), the model has not yet been printed because my Creality Ender 5 Plus is undergoing maintenance and modification to optimize it for higher temps and to replace the PSU.

I have included not only the .STL files for the individual parts and the complete shed, but I have also included the completed shed in several other formats: (.obj, .3ds, .lwo, .jscad, and .glb).

You might want to import the model into your favorite 3D modelling or slicing app to double check the scale before printing - as some 3d modeling apps can scew the scaling a bit after exporting them. It's not necessary - but you know the old saying;
"Measure twice - cut once."

If you print these parts in a resin printer - make sure that your supports are well done - and give it plenty of time to UV cure.

To build this model - I would recommend tools such as tweezers, a modeling file, fingernail file, or emory board - and a hobby knife (exacto knife). If your printing
with PLA - then you'll need CA glue (cyanocrylate) such as "Super Glue", "Crazy Glue",
"Gorilla" brand CA Glue, etc. - or a multipurpose adhesive like "Duco" cement.

If you are printing in ABS, then you can just use glue for plastic model kits like "Testors"
brand, "Humbrol" brand, "Sqaudron" brand, "Tamiya" brand, "Plastruct", etc. I print in ABS and I use a combination of plastic model cement and CA glue.

Feel free to repost, modify, re-scale, or make add-ons or other versions of this model - JUST DO NOT SELL IT OR ANY DERIVATIVES THAT REQUIRE OTHERS TO PAY TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT (NO POSTING ON A PAY SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE!).

Thank You - and enjoy!
