I designed a shed for solar equipment, so why not scale it for 3D printing?

The name is a pun, BUTYTHO = BUT Y THO?
I used Visio to design a shed for solar equipment and converted to a SolidWorks design as a learning exercise. Scaled 1:12 and based on North American dimensional lumber. I mean, why not make a 3D printable model of it, with hyper-realistic structural elements. I modeled tongue and groove plywood and the 3D print has usable 1:12 scale tongue & groove joints!
Wall structures are in STEP format as they are assemblies and Solidworks exports assemblies as individual files if you save as STL format. I didn't want to assemble individual scale 2x4's to make walls… I'm already doing that at full scale with a framing nailer! Oh, and modern slicers support STEP in addition to STL… which used to not be the case.
