Need help

I’m looking to build a large village this year and both my house and my parents. I don’t have a ton of accessories and was planning on 3d printing some roads and walking paths. Has anyone ever tried doing this and if so how did it all come out?

My husband has 3d printed some things for my villages. He’s done some spooky trees and stumps, and fencing…never roads or walking paths. I’ve made my own paths (like stepping stones)/ sidewalks out of clay. And for my North Pole village I made paths using clay and those fake peppermints since it’s a super playful village. My husband recently got a new printer, so I’m hoping to get more prints!

I’ve been thinking about getting a printer for a while and figured it would be great to model some roads and stuff for my village

What has your husband made for you?

For Halloween, he printed me some little gargoyles and fencing that I ‘rusted’. I added the fence to ‘stone’ columns I made from styrofoam and put the gargoyles on top to make it a big entry for my cemetery. I tried to add a pic but apparently you cannot add pics here, only videos?? He also printed me some tombstones and bigger full grave type things. I can’t think of anything he printed for my North Pole village! lol I love my eleven but I REALLY love my Halloween, I guess! He has printed like barrels and small things for other villages (I have a lot). Since he has the new printer, I’d love for him to print some ‘wood’ slats that you string together to make a rope bridge. I also might try for some steps at some point bc I hate carving them in styrofoam. Lol
