DESCRIPTION This is an expansion of my Minecraft-inspired Base/Diorama Builder containing all-new blocks with new textures! Utilizing these new blocks is a Christmas house complete with a large Christmas tree and other elements for a scenic Minecraft Christmas house display! IMPORTANT WARNING Note that there are a lot of variables that affect parts fitment, e.g., flow rate, temperature, speed, etc. Please do a quick, test print for each filament type and color to test for fitting first before printing all the parts . This way you know that the filaments have already been calibrated and you're sure the fitting will be correct when you print the parts. I have provided the profile test print plate - BL PLA Basic for you to test. If you find the fitting too tight, the easiest you can do to adjust the fitment is play with the the Flow ratio (see below). Keep reducing it by 0.01 until you find the right fit. Using Bambu Lab PLA Basic Silver, I have not adjusted anything and the printed part fits exactly as intended. See video below. As stated above, depending on the filament to be used, you may have to calibrate first to get the right fitting. ASSEMBLY GUIDE IMPORTANT NOTE: Elephant's foot (first layer too squished into the build plate) may cause the blocks to be tight. DO NOT REMOVE assembled blocks right away. Wait at least a day and due to material creep, the blocks will get loose over time. Available for download is an assembly guide showing the step-by-step assembly steps for the house , xmas tree , pine tree and candy cane . SANTA HAT Two sizes of the Santa hat are available: 1) small one that compatible with most of the mini-figure mobs that has the same size head as Steve's and 2) large size that will fit the Creeper and Enderman heads. You can download the mini-figures here: mini-figures LIGHTING To add lights into the model, I used these fairy lights available at Amazon . The blocks are hollow and it's easy to route the lights inside. However, you may need to drill some holes or make holes a little bigger on parts that come with holes using a pin vise.
