    After my successful long print of the Watchtower, my second big project has been the Clorehaven Barn. Similar in design and theme, this is being printed as several long pieces as well – some of the job tasks running 36+ hours. So far, it has been successful – I am done with the majority and…

The new model is estimated at 21 hours and 52 minutes by the software, so it will likely be a 24 hour+…
