A more Disney-fied castle: conical spires and an archway.

A more Disney-fied castle: conical spires and an archway.

Here's iteration 2 of my 3D-printed castle design. I'm mostly focussed on helping to improve our internal instructions on how to get up and running with 3D printing, submitting jobs to the office printer etc., rather than refining this particular model, so I limited myself to a train journey's worth of adjustments. My Daughter was keen that it looked more like the Disney castle.

The plan for the office is still for folks to use Cura as a slicer, which they can download and run as an AppImage, and for us to provide a ZIP of configuration that automatically sets up the printer specifications and connects it to the Octoprint instance we've got set up to receive jobs. Unfortunately merely zipping ~/.config/cura/4.4 is not sufficient to make the experience seamless, so further experimentation is needed.

As with all these things, a Snow White castle needs a firm base - "Someday, my plinth will come" ...
