Your model is coming along very well. Did you make the stairs with your 3D printer or did you make them yourself from wood? If so, how did you make it? Thanks.

I used FDM maybe one day I'll get a resin printer as the parts will be more detailed. It's the smell and mess that's putting me off.

Thanks for the feedback. The stairs are made from a strip of timber, the steps where filed with the aid of a 3d printed jig.

These are the jigs I used to make a steps, the other block is used to cut the radius on the underside.

This is how the strip fits into the filing jig, the top of the jig is marked with a sharpie so I can see when the depth is correct.

For more details see entry 430 of this log.
