Taking the plunge with a 3D Print

About the Project
I have been tinkering with a 3D printer for a while, doing basic shapes for templates for Dark Age and tokens for Harry Potter, so I decided it was time to try a bigger project to see if my engineering skills were up for the calibration challenge, and inspired by the recent "Dwarves, Elves and Demons" kickstarter that I backed, I had someone else to do the design work for me. This is a quick project to show the print process and I will add updates on how I find cleaning up the print and how it paints too.

Introduction
I always set out to get a printer to do terrain. Well that and to give me the ability to print out simple toys and such like for my toddler.
However my 3D design skills are non-existent, after a foray into creating a replica of a shower fitting that had broken, which worked and got me loads of good husband points in the bank, I really only did basic shapes to make my own templates and tokens for a few games.
Upon discovering Moonstone the urge to create my own town in the world has pushed me to try a bigger printing project.
I have been reticent in the past as I am not 100% sure on how good I have set up the printer and have been worried that it would not work, however I heard good things about the printable scenery guys, so backed their recent kickstarter for some Dwarven buildings, that would also work for when I get my Fabled Realms KS through.
This is a quick project to document start to painted finish of the basic dwarf house.
