Eugen - Construction playset

thingiverse

I decided to take on the challenge of designing a construction set for my daughters. This design is by far my most impressive creation for the 3D printer, and after countless hours of printing and fine-tuning, it was finally complete. But soon, greed got the better of me, and slowly I came to realize that the fun part was over, and everything pointed to this never seeing the light of day. Everything seemed stacked against it 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, another node and beam for the roof structure, stairs, and walls/ceilings. Many other elements could be added, such as 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 become, and 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 for visiting, and I hope you will enjoy this set as much as my kids and myself do. Best regards, Mihail Filip
