The kit

You get all parts as STL – pre-arranged on 11 print plates by color and individually as well. No part needs supports, a single-color printer is enough.

The four shoji run on two rails, and you slide the two middle ones behind the outer ones. They go in like the original: lift into the deep groove at the top, lower at the bottom. On the right side sits the crawl-in door (nijiriguchi), a board between two rails.

It assembles without glue. The hip roof consists of four surfaces with a box ridge and four hip tiles and lifts off as one piece. Inside lie six tatami mats in the classic pattern, plus a hearth with tea kettle, an alcove, a lacquer table and floor cushions. In front of the house go a stepping stone, a stone lantern and a pine.

Notes

  • Pegs and slots are built for 0.20 mm clearance per side, set more generously than before after test prints so nothing needs trimming. The included fit test shows whether that suits your printer.
  • The finished model has many very small parts and is not a toy.
  • The files are for your private use – print them as often as you like. You may not pass on, upload or sell the files themselves.
