"Still trying to de-fuzz the back side with a folded 600 sandpaper" 
I'd be careful doing that.

80 works better.

Making a bit of progress on this old kit. All the wood is weathered and this pattern shown below is going on the printer in a moment. I ended up staining all the wood after testing a few pieces instead of painting.

Showing inside and out with duplicate prints. They may work. The mullions look a bit large.........

Maybe just a tad on the Mullins but it depends how "fussy" you want to get.

Philip, hope the print goes well.

[Jerry]

Looking forward to the print.

I have version 4 on the printer. 1st one was top right with trim applied

2d version are with movable 6 lite panes

3rd set was a disaster.

Rough and warped.

More later.

Those saloon door hinges might be diecast dollhouse furniture hardware.  For a dollhouse-scale baker's cabinet, for example.  Because I remember walking in to a broad-spectrum hobby shop in Ottawa, years ago, that catered to plastic modellers, model railroaders, radio-controlled aircraft kamikazes, and dollhouse modellers.  Which I hadn't known was a Thing.  They had stuff in the dollhouse display cabinet that I hadn't imagined existed.

Very interesting. I'll take a look around. Thank you!

First version looks pretty good.
You didn't like it?

Philip keep at it; you'll get it the way you want it.

No. Rick it was oriented wrong in my eyes and ruining the detail. If you look closely the muntins have a distorted look. It is called 3d elephants foot caused by overexposing the first few layers. They are not at true right angles were they intersect.

That is the plan Larry, plus I want the sashes to slide to pose a scene. What self respecting house of blues doesn't have operating windows? Tricks ya know!

I changed the orientation as shown in the photos. Frame / Sash

Philip,

The 3D printing looks good. You'll know when the part is right.

Thanks Tom! Was about to give up..

Finally have some good prints. They are sitting in the rough openings not nailed or level. I trimmed them with 2x6's, a bit heavy but close enough. The top sash is fixed and the bottom slides in the track. The saloon had a swinging door included with the kit that was discarded. I'll come up with something.

[Jerry]

They look pretty good to me Philip!
