Summary

These CIRCULAR STAIR steps can be stacked for the desired height to fit your dollhouse. Holes are provided for the balusters. The handrail and balusters are not included. These steps have a fixed radius which can be modified by increasing or decreasing the X dimension percentages. Do not change the Y or Z axis because the stair run and rise must remain fixed.

I exclusively print with PLA and have found that ordinary clear lacquer thinner (Nail polish remover) is a wonderful glue. Make a small test for yourself of two pieces of scrap PLA and give it a try. Let sit for 20 seconds and then try to break it apart. It leaves no residue and is applied with a small brush. I've been using lacquer thinner as a glue on styrene and PLA for years. No sloppy or messy glue to show when finished.

I have always painted my models with oil paint, specifically Windsor and Newton Griffin Fast Drying Oils. They dry overnight. I never liked acrylics because they obliterate fine detail, and they always look chalky to me. Oil colors are made from the finest color pigments available, color saturation and permanence are proven throughout the history of art. Thinned with Mineral Spirits you will get the most remarkable weathering and aging finishes you have ever seen. I feel reasonably assured that once you try Griffin Oils you will never go back to water based acrylics.

It is totally free, but I will post it on Thingiverse for others to print and enjoy.

Happy modeling,
