3D Printed Doorways with swappable doors

[brokentoy]

Okay these were 3D-printed, so part of the work was modeling done in a software. Don't know how it stands with you but I still consider it to be crafting: link

I used dutchmogul's excellent door model as a base and subtracted a 2x18mm slot from the top to the base so I could... slide cardboard door tokens in! The tokens were simply printed and glued to cardstock. I'm not showing the whole lot here; In total I have 8 doorways, 8 doors, 2 locks and 2 portal tokens.

The result is doors that can be easily and clearly shown as open (empty), closed, locked, portals, etc. The doorways are 1 inch wide by 2 inches high.

Those are very nice....and yeah I still consider it crafting

I always suck with making doors.....I never get them to be the same size...there always a little off (kinda like me...interesting...maybe that's why)

I'm very tempted to take a page from DMScotty's book and go Mageknight with the doors, if I can find a set that's not too expensive...

Would be cool to have more options especially if they are inexpensive...

Sliding something in... that's one heck of a genius idea. Hats off!
I don't know so far what to do with it, but I'm sure it will pop up in some future project.

This guy really makes great stuff. Here are some of his newer doors, very well designed:


The doorways are simply grooves for the doors. This is brilliant. Your miniatures can fit in the door a lot easier!
(sidenote: it's also easier to print, as there is no arch requiring vertical support)

The doors are part of a cool little scifi tile set. Just scale it up to 28mm and you're good to go: www.thingiverse.com/thing:366172
