I see the prices for the files, and I cannot help but wonder what might be the cost of having someone print the buildings here in the boonies. Dream on...

The printing was co-financed by the club because the farm will be used for joint events. It was many hundreds of hours of printing and over a dozen kilograms of filament. I would never have finished this on my old Creality printer, luckily my friend has ultra fast Bambu and Voron.

I would think it would be quite expensive to have someone print and not to mention shipping cost. I'm printing a big bridge for our battlefield and I'm using junk filament I don't want for other projects for some of the project. It's turned into a rather large undertaking. Even at a very low 5% infill, it's going to take a lot of filament to complete.

More important than infill are the outer layers (here there were four). Additionally, the length of the prints was influenced by the fact that they were originally models for tabletop wargames. They have floors, stairs, furniture and other details inside. The advantage is the fantastic details of the sculpture, which "paint themselves". While printing took months, painting took only days.
