A 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.
Another way (which can produce better overall surface) is tilting with support instead of printing it from a flat side.
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.
