A real garden bench in 1:10 scale

This is a 1:10 model of a real garden bench my dad designed and build in 2005. For an easy transport to and from a shed it is made from three parts - body, seat and backrest which dock in itself. It is really robust and comfortable to sit on. On the photo is a 18cm tall (scaled up) Dummy 13 for a reference with a 180cm tall person.

This was not designed to be an easy print. It was made as a present for my dad. You can print these three large parts individually, but supports marks and layer lines will look bad.

After several failed prints, I would recommend to print each plank individually at 0.1mm layer height in brown PLA and superglue them together using 3D printed templates (all available in files).

Feet are on the real bench covered with metal base, that's why they are printed in a silver grey PLA on the model.

I don't await a lot of prints, as this is mainly model for me and my family. But if you print it, you have my deepest respect. And if you scale it up 10x and build a real sturdy bench from wood, eternal glory to you, mad lad. :)
