Fortified Watchtower — 28mm / 1:56 Tabletop Terrain, brick relief

Generated with PrintHaus — make your own buildings instead of hunting for them

I did not model this tower by hand. I generated it in my browser with PrintHaus, the parametric CAD generator for 3D-printable buildings that I develop. To be clear: this is not an AI model — every wall, roof plane and opening is real parametric solid geometry, exported straight to print-ready files.

You set footprint, floors, roof type, windows, doors, balconies, stairs and chimneys at real-world dimensions, choose your scale, and export. This tower started as a 6.5 × 6.5 m plan with a 5 m hall below, a 25° hip roof and a wrap-around corner balcony with picket railing — then exported at 1:56.

The model

A two-storey brick watchtower for tabletop battles, skirmish games and dioramas: hip roof, a balcony wrapping right around the upper floor, and a wide double gate below. Inside there is a straight staircase and half-height partition walls. Upstairs, two double doors open onto the balcony. Windows have sills and muntins and print without glazing.

The surfaces carry real printed relief — the brickwork on the walls and the clay tiles on the roof are modelled into the geometry, not a printed-on image.

Printing

Scale 1:56 (28 mm) — approx. 170 × 170 mm footprint, 182 mm tall. 25 parts, supplied both as 5 ready-to-slice Bambu Studio plates (.3mf) and as individual .stl parts converted 1:1 from those same plates — identical geometry, so any slicer works. 0.20 mm layer, 2 walls, 8 % infill, approx. 23.8 h. Parts are pre-oriented flat, no supports needed, plug together after printing. The colours are just my filament choices — swap freely.
