I have finally purchased a 3D printer. I chose the Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra 9k, along with their Mercury XS Bundle, including the washing and curing stations. The Elegoo Mars 4 Ultra is a small printer, the maximum build volume is only 153.36 x 77.76 x 165mm, but the resolution is super high: 18μm (that's 0.018mm). This is suitable for me as I will only print small models, but I need them super detailed. The photos below show the complete setup, and the very first print!

The roof is fitted with accessories that have been 3D-printed. I built simple light boxes to simplify the lighting of the building. I've used etched 1:150 cute animal barriers that can be purchased here https://neonnoirdesigns.booth.pm/items/5377423 https://www.etsy.com/listing/1277143858/1150-scale-etched-animal-barriers Many designs are available. Look for the Neon Noir Designs shop on Booth.pm or Etsy. Painting:
The front signboard backlight is made of a piece of polyester scored at precisely spaced intervals to spread the light evenly. After googling a bit, I learned that the intensity of the light in the backlight panel decreases exponentially. I then created a small python script that generates lines spaced exponentially, and used the resulting document to score the transparent polyester (or acrylic) sheet. The result is a uniform light distribution, even if there are only two LEDs at both ends of the signboard. Complete with 3D-printed figurines... ... and a nice wooden bench. The top floor is the music studio, with a nice glass roof. Each storey is lighted individually, using small light boxes.
The building next to the construction site will be a Dance School, inspired by the Tokyo Dance Haiyu & Butaigeijutsusenmon School building in Shibuya.
Working on the construction site this week. First, new signboards and decals Then, the first tests of the moving crane. The servo motor (controlled by an Arduino Nano) is right below the board. The rotation is not super smooth, I'll have to work on that! I am continuing the work on the construction zone (next to the tower crane). This area is stuck between the train and the tram tracks, so it has a strange curved shape. I have prepared more photo-etched parts this summer, for the scaffolding and the fence. The building frame is made of Evergreen styrene strips and beams. Part of the first photo-etching project, I built a tower crane, which will be the focus point of the new construction area. The tower crane is largely inspired by a real crane, the JCL008II. The workflow is as follows:
