Great Pyramid Maker

The Magnificent Pyramid! This fantastic Customizer lets you create a Pyramid in the dimensions of Egypt's incredible Great Pyramid. You can adjust the dimensions, number of layers, number of missing cover stones, entrances, base block, and cover stone placement accuracy. With perfect smooth cover stones, they won't show up at all! The actual Great Pyramid has an astonishing 210 layers - this involves millions of stones, and unfortunately, OpenSCAD isn't able to make even the cover stones for that many! It truly is gigantic. I've included a computer-rendered image of 210 layers, and you can see just how massive it is! The first layer is around five feet high, approximately shoulder height. There are 209 more after that. Printing around 40 layers makes each cover stone fairly visible, as long as there's a good amount of "jiggle" added to the stones' placement.
