| More than 1000 building blocks were printed by a 3D printer for six boxes of classroom material.
Each box contains eight or more pieces of each element of the 22,5°/45° Turkish style of muqarnas.
Idea is that students start with paper tiles to create and understand their design, and continu with the 3D printed elements to assemble the muqarnas level by level.
The full elements are 4 cm high. The top square of the blue building block is 2 cm by 2 cm.
The building blocks have horizontal and vertical connectors for fast and easy clicking during the assembly process.
My Flashforge printer is highly reliable but quite slow: it takes one hour to print about 3 full unit. |  |
