This industrial-style staircase traces the contoured path of a cinquefoil knot. Consider it an architectural art piece or just a way to show off the capabilities of your new resin printer!

This model is designed for resin printing. It is an advanced print. Print directly on the build plate to achieve a smooth and flat base. The railings are designed to print without supports.

The model will need support to print properly. The following support options are available:

The “Built in Supports” file is a custom support structure that provides even support to the bottom of the stairs and is easy to remove without damaging the structure. You will likely need to add additional support as well.

If you are rescaling the model, consider using the “Built in Supports” and generating your own additional supports as required. Attach your supports to the “Built in Supports,” not directly to the stairs. This will reduce the likelihood of damage when removing them.

If you are not rescaling the model, you can simply use the “Built in Supports” and “Additional Supports” as provided.

To remove the supports, begin by snipping the bottom outer and inner rings into pieces and then pulling the supports off in sections. Do not damage the middle ring! The middle ring remains as a base support for the finished model.
