Sectional radiator kit - Build your own model heater

Build your own model heater

A classic sectional heater with solid ribs. Add realistic accents to your diorama.

This object is available for wall mounting and as a kit. Very realistic proportions and high-quality wire model.

Kit

You can assemble the kit with 3D software, e.g. Windows 3D Builder

1. the individual links are assembled on the circular surfaces of the couplings. Links with end couplings are the first and last links on the radiator. 4 end piece couplings are required per radiator

2. one link consists of two couplings. One coupling at the top, one at the bottom.

3. the middle section link is inserted between the two couplings and can also be varied in Z height

4. depending on the length, place 2 - 3 wall mounts between the links with the flat side on the wall side. Ensure that all wall mounts are in a Y-plane.

Scales

All my models are true to scale. With the 2 preconfigured scales you can make your scale diorama.

If you already have your own scale, you can use the 1:1 scale file to reduce it to your individual scale.

Instructions for loosening the structure

if you have a dual extruder, use water-soluble structure. Because loosening conventional structure is tricky. Otherwise, here is a procedure that I use:

Brim removal. Cut off the filigree piping on the side with a carpet knife, then carefully cut through the connection to the rest of the structure. If the pipe details are exposed, then carefully peel off the entire structure.
