Modern Mini Houses

Here are all the entries for the 3D Printed Miniature House Contest hosted by Shapeways. The numbers are assigned for judges ease of use and are in no particular order, other than trying to fit them on this page. The contest terms and conditions state the winners will be notified by April 30, but we hope to have the judges decisions finalized in a week. Stay tuned for the announcement of the winners. Big thanks to everyone who participated.

This is my entry Photo for the Miniature houses contest. I created a miniature furniture showroom highlighting some of my pieces of furniture I like to furnish my miniature structures with. I really love Shapeways, they have allowed me the key to produce amazing miniatures!

The Pouchard chairs are by Pretty Little Things, The table is by Modernminifan, The Vegetal chairs and the Octo lamp shades are by Marion Russek, I spray painted the Vegetal chairs lime green, the Pouchard chairs bright yellow and the Octo lampshades chrome to mimic the center privacy panel. The Octo lampshades are lit up with LED bulbs although you cant tell with the sunlight. I left the table white. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest and for Shapeways!

I wanted to create a 'boutique' style bathroom. The bath, tap, bidet, toilet, sink & tap and shower fitting are 3d printed from Modern Dollhouse at Shapeways. I finished them with white and silver gloss spray paint. The light above the shower changes to blue and violet. I made the tiles and fittings from wood, foam board, perspex and eggboxes and added some accessories.

6. Studio 3D Printed Objects
A combination of vintage style and modern technology in 3D printed miniatures on our shelf. Rabbit, fish, basket with flowers, plate phone, bikes, sheep and old gramophone are 3D printed in white strong and flexible nylon. Some models are coloured with acrylic paint, some are further made to look older by metallic paints. Waiting man with flowers is 3D printed in colour sandstone.Golf ball boxes serve for size comparison.

This scene is called 'Opening time' and is part of my Melbourne laneway café, Hideout (See the full build on my blog: http://theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/an-early-morning-start.html)

The 3D-printed 1:12 Pauchard Chairs, stools with short back and low stools were all by PrettySmallThings (bought on Shapeways) and the light shade is a 3D-printed full-sized tea light shade by PUNEET.JODHKA (bought at a local market.)

After buying the chairs, I contacted the seller and asked if she could design stools as well: which she did in a variety of sizes and styles.

I painted the stools and chairs with copper and black spray paint, and left the tea light shade in its original black.

My miniature laundry room also serves as the craft space. Right now, there's a miniature swimming pool on the work table. I've included a miniature reproduction of the Shapeways shipping box that held the swimming pool and an unused miniature bridge. I split apart a real Shapeways box then reproduced the wording and logos through scanning, manual type-setting and clip-art alteration.

The following is a list of the 3D printed items included. I painted an N scale swimming pool and filled it with resin water, including a tiny dispensing cup in the scene. The room is accented by a laundry basket that I spray painted flat white. The bookshelf was painted Liquitex Iridescent Bronze and the modern vase was painted Testors Gloss Teal. The overhead lampshade was painted tan to mimic a bamboo shade, and I added a Novalyte can LED with the wiring fed through a length of aluminum tubing. The desk accessories and trash can were printed in light metallic grey, so I left them as is. The stacking bins were molded in green and also left as is. An unaltered N scale bridge sits on the bookshelf awaiting its turn on the work table.

I decided to have a bit of fun and made the shower "rain" in my contemporary bath smile emoticon.

Both the faucet and vessel sink were designed by me and printed by Shapeways. The sink is white plastic with a light finish of spray paint and the faucet is printed in stainless steel and left bare (it printed with a slight pink undertone). The shower panel is from Modern Dollhouse and I tried to get the plastic to match the faucet, spraying it metallic gold and then dabbing silver. The moth orchid plant I made is sitting in the largest of the containers from ModernMiniFan's 6-piece Bath Collection, along with the matching tray, the box I used as a toothbrush holder and the makeup brush/lotion combo set. The little stool is designed by Mini World Designs.

I created a scene for a 1:48 scale Eames chair, foot stool and side table from "Pretty Small Things,". It is perfect for a small 4" baseball cube scene. I painted the metal parts with metallic gunmetal gray. The table top and furniture backs were painted with an enamel paint to look like pecan wood. The top of the chair and stool were covered with brown embossing powder to give it a soft fabric look. I made some books, a draecana floor plant, a dahlia flower in an acrylic vase and a modern floor lamp for good lighting when reading. I created a glass window look for the windows and door. Wallpaper and a stained scored floor finished the look.

Miniature contest 1:12: antler chandelier (lights on) printed in 3d while plastic, then painted with acrylic and electrified with 3 nano lights. The wires of the lights were too stiff to use with a chain from the ceiling so they had to be hidden in a black plastic pipe.
The Gervasoni chairs are 3d prints as well, painted with acrylic and completed with a felt cushion.

3D printed contest 1:24 scale
this was the second room in my 24th scale house using Shapeways 3D printed items. The Sakura chair in far left I covered in green leather. The Egg chair in purple was purchased from Shapeways in the colour scheme shown, and the coffee table and arc light were also 3Dprinted.

3D printed contest 1:24 scale
I had this gorgeous blue and green wallpaper to use and found the two white armchairs, Reitveldt inspired table and small table and chairs in the background from Shapeways. I painted the base legs silver and added green leather cushions to the armchairs and used green sparkly craft paper on the table top to match the colour scheme.
I usually work in smaller scales such as 48th scale so it was wonderful to try 1:24 and find good modern furniture.

Mini contest. This is my art deco style living room in 1:48 scale so very small scale to work in. Complete room is only 5inches wide by 6 inches deep and you can see the music room to the left. It is very difficult to find specific art deco items in this scale so I asked a Shapeways designer to make them for me. Items that are 3D printed in this room are sectional sofa, lamp, art deco drinks trolley. Also in background 2 "Z" chairs and noguchi coffee table as well as display cabinet. The piano, stool and green chair are also 3D printed as well as the art deco floor lamp. Most items painted with acrylic paint then decorated with matching accessories.
