Homeless Housing Concept - Scale Models - Tower with 480 Units

thingiverse

Tiny units/rooms/cells, designed around basic survival needs. Tents into tiny houses. Consider these over living in a tent, on the sidewalk, in a park, or under an overpass? Having so many individual units honeycombed gives strong personal autonomy: no roommates, and no Oxford house staff or other conservative cohorts kicking you out, over backwards nonsense. A background check that doesn’t disqualify you — but house the felons near the felons, and the 24 hour party people near similar folks. I’ve spent some time in jail, and clearly that was one of my influences here, but the key difference, is these doors keep others away from your stuff, and away from you — you get to leave whenever you want. The doors never keep the occupants inside. Update: Added 3D printer optimized files. I sliced the building in half (and then into quarters), and made the top park layer removable, printed separately. Included are all the trees, vents, and solar roofs for the park, but flipped upside down and disassembled, so they will print correctly, and glue on. There's also thicker glass (now 0.8mm), and thicker walkways (now 1.2mm) to ease printing, and I've removed the front, back, and side glass, to reveal the inner door structure. Now prints with supports, 0.4mm line width, and 0.8mm wall thickness. Final update: The tower quadrants now **print without supports**, at 0.3mm resolution. Reworked the roof access as one combined stairwell, added 12th to 13th floor spiral stairs. For the print optimized **room** cut away (roof/wall removed), you need to enable supports. Previous update: added printable doors, elevator cars, and stairs. Sliced tower into quadrants, for printers with lower available maximum print height. Maximum print Z height is now 75mm, and all pieces now print on print beds down to 180mm x 180mm (accounting for side tree supports, and even smaller beds, if you only print one 120mm x 40mm footprint tower quadrant at a time). Added *more* holes for 5mm x 3mm rare earth magnets. You'll [need 24 of these](https://www.amazon.com/FINDMAG-Multi-Use-Magnetic-Whiteboard-Refrigerator/dp/B08M3H4VP5/): - 4x in each tower half foundation (8) - 2x in the top half of each tower half, 2x in the bottom half of each tower half (8) - 4x deep into the 13th floor pillars, and 4x under the park roof (8) You're expected to superglue the tower TOP halves together, and the park halves together, while *leaving the bottom half of the tower unglued*, so you can break the magnet retention. Recommended print resolutions: Tower Quadrants: 0.3mm roofParkHalves: 0.2mm treesVentsEtc: 0.1mm These units are, or provide, over a tent or other temporary shelter: - Dry and Warm (Forced Air/Heat) - Safe and Secure (Strong Theft/Assault Resistance) - Fireproof (Every Surface is Concrete) - Improved Sleep (Any Twin Mattress, Much Quieter Environment) - Electricity: Spaces for Hot Plate, Toaster Oven, Mini Fridge/Freezer, Microwave - Entertainment & Office: Space for LCD TV, Desk Space for Laptop/LCD/All-In-One - Legal Place of Abode (No more abrupt LEO oustings) - Access to 24/7 Toilet, Shower, and Laundry Facilities - Mailing Address, and Secure Package Reception For more information, please see my substack post about the design: https://rrab.substack.com/p/homeless-housing-concept
