Modular 28 mm Laser cut brick house with three floors

thingiverse

The plan was to build a modular house with interchangeable floors that could be rearranged to create different layouts. The goal is to design a building system for kids to experiment with LEDs, inspired by an idea from a colleague at another science museum. This rough sketch represents the initial concept. How It Was Designed Instructions: This project should be relatively easy to assemble, even without explicit instructions. Each floor consists of four walls and a ceiling. Simply connect the parts as they come out of the laser cutter, ensuring each floor is aligned with the others in the layout. If the components get mixed up, here's a tip: the base floor features straight lines at its bottom edge, while the top floor has a flush ceiling that meets the upper wall. The lower and middle floors have ceilings/floors that protrude slightly from their walls, allowing them to click into place securely. To assemble each level, attach the corner pieces of the walls together using glue; they're designed to fit loosely, so adhesion is essential. Finally, add a ceiling to the top of the walls. The roof does not share the same locking mechanism as the floors; I may revisit this aspect later if it proves necessary.
