Our Next Home

thingiverse

This new home design features a maker space and small workshop/3D printer room, all modeled using OpenSCAD. Each floor and roof structure is printable as a separate part. We shared our ideas with builders and architects using these prints, which garnered valuable feedback. The code includes functions for doors, windows, cabinetry, wood stove, appliances, toilets, etc., with dimensions primarily in feet and some thicknesses/heights in inches. Scaling is set for a machine controlled in mm. Due to the 1000 element OpenCSG limit, certain internal details are disabled when viewing the whole house (activated by "if (print>0)}" commands). Additionally, all x-axis coordinates have been mirrored to ensure x=0,y=0 represents the front left corner and x=27 feet 4 inches, y=40 feet marks the back right corner. All individual elements have been printed successfully; however, printing the entire house as one piece is yet to be attempted.
