How do you print the veranda parts?

  You need to switch supports on to print the veranda parts.

  The roof does not require supports

Another question: the underneath part of the sidewalks in the pictures seem hollow, but the stl files are solid. Is that right?
- Sam Campbell (verified owner) – May 21, 2020
  
  Yes the Stl files are solid, this was updated in a subsequent version and allows for better printing.

How do you fit the doors in the model?
- Sam Campbell (verified owner) – June 11, 2020
  
  The doors can be slid into the pivot point slots so they can swing.

Hello! I just printed the cabin and there are beams in the doorways..so the bottom can be put into the pivot point slot but the top is blocked by a beam?? It does not show the beams in the rendering above..any thoughts or work arounds? thanks!

  These are printing supports, you can clip these off with cutters.

Any chance we can have an option of the main part without the supports. They are a pain to remove due to how thick they are.

  Hi
  
  We will add this to our models update list.

Hi. It’s unclear to me what the “Cut Verandah Option” should look like or how the pieces go together. I do not see any instructions or sample photos for this. Could you enlighten me? Thanks.

Great model, but the door way supports are an absolute pain to remove. Normal tree supports in the slicer work just fine for doorway arches. Can we have these supports removed by chance?
- Joanne Boorer – September 10, 2025
  
  Thank you for pointing this. Will get this model updated.
