You can find all sorts of interesting things on Amazon reader reviews these days. My friend Meredith Scheff-King sent me a link to the page for Hatchbox 3D Wood Filament for printing a wood-like finish. On it, among other projects being shown by readers using this product, was a comment about 3D printed architectural elements, namely rosette blocks and plinth blocks, used in a Victoria library build. The results are pretty impressive.
Victorian Rosette Block
Here’s Thingiverse user craeen’s design for the rosette block. And here’s the page description:
A thin rosette block to match a particular molding (House of Fara, Part #786). I used one of bratskbars beautiful designs for the main decoration piece. Be sure to check out the coordinating plinth block, also a remix from another of bratskbars designs. We printed it in wood filament and will stain it later.
Victorian Plinth Block
For the bottoms of the columns of the library shelf, these plinth blocks were printed using the “wood” filament and stained to look like real wood. Craeen writes:

Besides the rosettes and plinths, craeen also designed, printed, and installed candle holders (with LED lights) and some other Victorian architectural elements. And s/he even collected a library of 3D printable figure busts and printed out an Einstein bust (not shown here).
