About this 3D model

This is a quadratic adaption of the Montessori beads to learn counting/calculation. The idea is that 10 of the small cubes give you one stick. 10 sticks give you one plate and 10 plates give you one cube. In this way a child can get an intuition of how the 10-based counting system works. For example the number 1231 equals to one cube, 2 plates, 3 sticks and one small cube. I scaled the everything to a edge length of 0.7 cm to print on less plates and save filament. Maybe you want to increase that to 1 cm or even more.
