Roof tiles

Postby John Bateson » Fri Dec 02, 2016 10:48 am

Has anybody, when thinking about roof tiles, tried using 3D printing rather than the flat aspects from things like laser work or paper/card.
I suspect pan tiles and simiar things like Roman tiles would be better looking with this?

Hi John,
The effectiveness would depend upon the resolution of the layers. Most filament printers are fed with models sliced at 0.2mm, or 0.4mm; a bit clunky. By comparison, Resin-bath printers produce layers at around 1 or 2 microns which should give a reasonable result.
