Gothic Folding Bell Tower — Tabletop Terrain (STL or Printed)

Pre-release — the Gothic Ruins Folding Set has its full release at the end of 2026. Single pieces are 30% off until then, and more pieces join the set as they are printed and proven.

A four-walled gothic bell tower that folds flat. Four print-in-place hinge columns, a snipped length of 1.75 mm filament through each one, and the whole tower is rigid. Pull two pins, slide one half 12 mm, and it folds down to a 37 mm slab you can stand in a box like a book.

• Deployed: 99 × 99 × 191 mm — a proper line-of-sight blocker
• Folded: 188 × 37 × 191 mm as two L-halves stacked — 29% less shelf volume than the assembled tower, and flat pieces stack where a hollow box cannot
• Print-in-place hinges: 7.0 mm octagonal knuckles, 2.60 mm rod bore, 0.35 mm side clearance — the spec that is print-proven on our own reference piece
• Drop-in top floor for a second firing deck
• Full tournament footprint included: the matching 6 × 4 in base plate STL ships with the files, so the tower stands on its complete measured footprint
• Compatible with the 11th edition tournament layout
• Designed and 3D printed in Melbourne, Australia

Two ways to buy — pick one above:

STL files (instant download). The one-object print-in-place walls (STL + 3MF, print as placed, no supports, 0.2 mm layers), the drop-in top floor, the four individual legs for reference, and a 1-hour corner test coupon so you can check the pin fit before committing to the full print. Print settings sheet included. Personal-use licence.

Printed & shipped. We print it here in Melbourne on a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layers, fit the pins, check the fold, and post it to you folded flat in a small box. Arrives ready to unfold and play.

Pins: the hinge rod is a snipped piece of 1.75 mm filament. STL buyers cut their own from any spool — nothing is included with the files. The printed version ships with its pins already fitted.

Part of the Gothic Ruins folding set — more pieces are added as they are printed and proven, and a complete-set bundle follows once they all are.

Personal use licence on the files: print as many as you like for your own tabletop; the files and prints may not be resold or redistributed.

What material is the Gothic Folding Bell Tower — Tabletop Terrain (STL or Printed) printed in?
Printed in plant-based PLA — made from renewable plant sugars (corn & sugarcane), not petroleum — with a lower carbon footprint than traditional plastics. Every order is printed to order in Melbourne, so there's no mass-production waste and nothing sitting in a warehouse.

I can buy this as files or printed — what is the difference?
Pick the format above. STL files are an instant download after checkout — nothing is posted, and you print it yourself. Printed & shipped means we print it here in Melbourne and post it to you; that option collects a delivery address at checkout.

How do I get the files if I choose the STL option?
They are delivered as an instant download the moment checkout completes — a download link on the thanks page and in your order email. Nothing is shipped for that option.

How long does the printed version take?
Australia: $11 standard / $15 express · United States: $20 flat. Every item is printed to order and ships in 3–5 business days from Melbourne. Returns per Australian Consumer Law — if it arrives faulty or not as described, we make it right.

Where is it made?
Designed and 3D printed to order in our Melbourne, Australia workshop. The files are a personal-use licence with print settings included.

What is your returns policy?
