Your project is so cool.

After you finish the project, would you ever reprint it and sell it? I know several people including myself that would love to have a copy of it.

Hey drwadadli... You are not the first to ask to have one made for them. Many people have reached out with offers. I was actually considering printing another for a display at our local Disney Store. (Not to sell). So printing others is possible just time consuming. Based on that...My original answer would have been no, due to the amount of time involved in printing it.

But I have to be honest, we have this Castle displayed on our dining room table as a centerpiece and we absolutely smile every day we look at it. We have had MANY people join us to watch the projection shows. It brings my family a lot of joy and for other true Disney fans, I am sure it would be the same for them. I would consider making others, but to be honest, I would not even begin to know what price to quote. It's rather big and fragile which is another thing I would have to consider.

I'm not sure if you or the other have the option of private messaging me here, but if you do, I'm not opposed to think about it further and discuss My intention is to just share my excitement about the project and its progress, not use this site as a vessel for sales.

HI ALL!!!!

For those that have been following this build, things got a little out of hand. As you can see, the castle is now twice as big.

I added a the full stage "to scale" of course, but it ended up being MUCH bigger than expected. Had a "Beast" of a time printing it.

Also, added a couple pillars and projected "Once Upon a Time" and "Happily Ever After" on it. Looks amazing. I did record this for youtube but after looking at it, the camera was a little out of focus. Will record again and share. I will also share the total print time for the stage build and update you later. The stage ended up being an additional 10 parts.

What is left? Well there are 2 wider pillars that you see in the pics provided. Those are just placeholders as I designed the full restrooms that are attached to those pillars. I will print the restrooms and update you after. Then it is on to post print work. Sand, Fill, Paint....

Let me know what ya think.

If they aren't already, it would be so much fun to "mechanize" them and drive them around like remote controlled busses.
