3Doodler

So far, this is my most ambitious project with 3Doodler - the Gingerbread House! Initially I thought about decorating it with snow and ice (white, clear and transparent-blue PLA), but after finishing the house itself, I decided to leave it as it is.

I started with few sketches to get the proportions right and then drew a map of the front, side, one half of the roof, mansard elements and door. Map needs to be very accurate, otherwise the pieces would not fit together.




I covered map with adhesive cellophane tape and started to draw in one colour. As elements cool, I would peel them of and put aside. When all brown elements were ready, I switched to red and finished off all red elements.

It took five brown rods, five red rods and two golden rods, plus leftovers of black. All elements were made separately and glued together using 3Doodler. Golden elements, frames, hinges and windows were painted in place.



It took about four hours to draw and I was sketching ideas for a few days before.
