Buildings where every floor lifts off.
Gableworks is a modular building system by Axis Gear Works. Every story and the roof lift off in one piece, so you can reach your miniatures on every level.
Free for personal use · Suggested colors, or your own
Lift-off floors
Each story sits on a grid frame that self-centers on the walls below. Lift it off with its walls attached.
Works with OpenLOCK
Every port is on the standard 12.7 mm grid with the standard clip. Mix it with the OpenLOCK terrain you already own.
Color your way
Every color is its own part, pre-assigned to suggested filament slots. Print it in color, in one color, or paint and dry-brush.
Textured inside and out
Stone, timber frame and plaster on both faces, flagstone and board floors, because interiors matter when the roof comes off.
Doors that open
Ledged and braced doors hang on a 1.75 mm filament pin and swing about 85° each way. Every doorway takes a hinge on either side.
See it come apart
Roof, upper stories and ground floor each lift as one unit. Clips hold the walls to the floors; a curb stops floors sliding.
The Townhouse
Three stories and a timber-framed gable roof, two rooms per floor, two stairs with stairwells and rails.

Five buildings so far, all on the same OpenLOCK grid: the Townhouse, Stonecroft Cottage, Hollybrook Cottage, Gilded Tankard Inn and Cinderbrook Smithy. Set them side by side and they line up.
