A four-walled gothic bell tower that folds flat. Four print-in-place hinge columns, a snipped length of 1.75 mm filament through each one, and the whole tower is rigid. Pull two pins, slide one half 12 mm, and it folds down to a 37 mm slab you can stand in a box like a book.
Two ways to buy — pick one above:
STL files (instant download). The one-object print-in-place walls (STL + 3MF, print as placed, no supports, 0.2 mm layers), the drop-in top floor, the four individual legs for reference, and a 1-hour corner test coupon so you can check the pin fit before committing to the full print. Print settings sheet included. Personal-use licence.
Printed & shipped. We print it here in Melbourne on a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layers, fit the pins, check the fold, and post it to you folded flat in a small box. Arrives ready to unfold and play.
Pins: the hinge rod is a snipped piece of 1.75 mm filament. STL buyers cut their own from any spool — nothing is included with the files. The printed version ships with its pins already fitted.
Part of the Gothic Ruins folding set — also available as the complete Combo Pack with every building, base plate and prop set in one order.
Personal use licence on the files: print as many as you like for your own tabletop; the files and prints may not be resold or redistributed.
Licence. Licence: personal, non-commercial use only. Print as many copies as you like for yourself; the files, and prints made from them, may not be sold, shared, resold, redistributed or used commercially in any form.
Colour & finish. This product is made of several printed parts, so slight colour or sheen differences can occur between parts printed from different filament batches. Fine layer lines are part of the 3D-printed finish. This doesn't affect strength or fit.
What material is the Gothic Folding Bell Tower — Tabletop Terrain (STL or Printed) printed in?
Printed in plant-based PLA — made from renewable plant sugars (corn & sugarcane), not petroleum — with a lower carbon footprint than traditional plastics. Every order is printed to order in Melbourne, so there's no mass-production waste and nothing sitting in a warehouse.
I can buy this as files or printed — what is the difference?
Pick the format above. STL files are an instant download after checkout — nothing is posted, and you print it yourself. Printed & shipped means we print it here in Melbourne and post it to you; that option collects a delivery address at checkout.
How do I get the files if I choose the STL option?
They are delivered as an instant download the moment checkout completes — a download link on the thanks page and in your order email. Nothing is shipped for that option.
