About this 3D model
Hey friends! This is a martian colony design for a #MakerBotMars challenge. As we all know, pyramids in Egypt were built by martians. Now we are going to pay same for mars - build pyramids on it! Concept is based on ideology that pyramids are awesome structure which is very close to natural forms and gives you a list of bonuses when build from smaller blocks: - Only two different block form factor are needed - Pyramidal design is extremley durable against all enviromental effects - Modular construction allows to start with small steps - Damage proof - if one block is damaged, all others may be sealed, like a submarine! - Damaged blocks may be replaced, even if they are deep inside of the construction, with proper rail system. - Modules can have any inner configuration you need - Pyramidal blocks are easy to print(you wont need that ugly mounting system on mars) - Outer blocks at big buildings like living blocks may be filled with martian soil to absorb radiation(gives you underground building bonuses without need to dig in) - It gives you beauty of simplicity Pick few of these two bricks and try yourself! %%%Remember to scale the model so rails are printed good enough!!%%%
