Eugen - Construction playset by builder2k

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I tried my hand at designing a construction set for my daughters. This is by far my best design for the 3d printer and after countless hours of printing and tuning there it was.
After that, for a little while, greed got the better of me and slowly I came to realize the fun part was over and that everything pointed to this never seeing the light of day. Everything pointed wrong because today it sees the light of day :).
I tried to make it as simple as possible and it has just four basic elements, a node and beam for the rectangular structure and another node and beam for the roof structure. I made three other additional elements for stairs and walls/ceilings but many other could be done...for example a rectangular orifice in the ceiling element for doors and windows and even some finishes for the exterior of the structure.
The cool thing about it is that the more you print, the more intricate the structures, you can make out of it, become and the more the kids seem to love it.
I named it in memory of my late father, Mihai Eugen, who was a great structural engineer. He designed high rises, I designed this... :)
Thank you and I hope you will enjoy this set as much as my kids and myself do.
All the best
Mihai Filip
