Description
PDFA miniature of "tetrapod", a concrete breakwater structure. The dimensions are based on this page from a Japanese company. Default size is about 5 cm in height.
The model in the STL is in a position that seems easier to print. But there are some overhangs in about 60 degrees. Smaller layer height like 0.15 mm would look better.
It also has a small bottom, you may have to enable the brim or use some other methods to prevent it from collapsing.
Examples of sizes:
| Real-world weight (t) | 2 | 10 | 20 | 40 |
| Real-world height (mm) | 1420 | 2430 | 3060 | 3860 |
| HO scale (1/87) height (mm) | 16.3 | 27.9 | 35.2 | 44.4 |
| N scale (~1/150) height (mm) | 9.5 | 16.2 | 20.4 | 25.7 |
Updates:
2022-01-26 – Model updated with slightly steeper overhangs.
