01 /The design

Choose the walls. Shape the courtyard.

Four wall types and three column types let you arrange corners and straight sections. The set also includes wall-attached, corner and standalone towers, with opening gates and removable tower roofs.

The example arrangement measures 500 × 460 mm. Parts are laid out for 280 × 280 mm sheets, with versions for 3 mm and 1/8-inch plywood or MDF. The gallery shows a courtyard, gatehouse, corner detail and separated wall sections.

Walls and columns

Combine four wall types with three column types.

Gates and towers

Opening gates and removable roofs provide access to the structures.

Flexible arrangements

Plan a courtyard, corners or a longer line of walls.

02 /At your workbench

Choose your material.Make it fit.

01 /

Measure first.

Check your actual material thickness and the matching file version. Test the slots and kerf on a small cut.

02 /

Check the layout.

Open the supplied design in compatible laser software. Check that the layout fits your machine’s usable work area.

03 /

Follow the guide.

Use the PDF assembly guide to identify the parts and work through the construction sequence.

Plan this build.

Sketch your intended arrangement and check which modules it needs before cutting. Extract the ZIP archives, choose the matching material version and follow the PDF guides. Test the joints and gate movement before fixing sections together.

At the 3 mm material scale, no individual part exceeds 290 mm. This refers to one part, not the assembled model or the whole cutting layout. Rescaling changes that limit.

Does the fortress have to use the example layout?

No. The 500 × 460 mm arrangement is an example. You can arrange the wall, column, gate and tower modules into different layouts; plan the required parts and sheet count before cutting.

What do I receive?

SVG and DXF cutting designs supplied in ZIP archives, with PDF assembly material for the fortress. Versions for 3 mm and 1/8-inch plywood or MDF are provided. No physical terrain, miniatures or material is supplied.

Can I change the scale?

Scale every part equally. Slots and tabs change with the design, so the material thickness must change in the same proportion; the finished dimensions also change. Test the fit and kerf before cutting all the parts.

Can I use the design commercially?

The files are for personal use. Contact 21CNCStudio before commercial use or selling finished items. Do not resell, share or redistribute the digital files without permission.
