I had modeled the forge up as 8 separate parts to allow me to position them on the Anycubic Photon to get the quickest prints. The resulting jobs filled the print bed twice and at a .04mm layer height it took about 5 hours to print out the parts. The results weren't too bad, there was a bit of warping on the largest part (the main base of the forge) but it was fairly easy to conceal as the worse bits are under the base and not visible.

The top came out very nicely and I don't think there is a quicker, more consistent, way to make something with those compound curves than CAD and a 3D printer.

The parts were stuck together with CA glue, the legs actually fitted fairly well into the corner cut outs made for them. Filings of the resin actually make an excellent filler in the joints when a drop of thin CA glue is put onto the surface.  The complete forge stands at 84mm tall with the base being a scale 3' square.

I'm very pleased with the way the manufacturer's name came out on the front and the general look of being made from cast metal.

When positioned with the anvil and work bench I think it looks the part.

There will need to be some kind of belt driven blower positioned next to it to feed in air and a good layer of coal/ashes. I'm also wondering about fitting an orange glowing LED. I'll also need a bucket of water and a sack of coal to go with it.
