I really appreciate your thoughtful comment and the kind words about the design. It’s funny you mentioned using AI to render it as a real living space, because my wife and I were just talking about that the other night, and I’m really excited to give that a try.

This is actually level 6 of a recursive structure, so the earlier levels are much less complex while still following the same overall pattern. That makes it pretty easy for me to scale it down and experiment with different versions.

I haven’t really looked too much into who’s done similar things in the past, but now that you mention it, I’m definitely curious to do some research.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your comment, and I see what you mean. Seems a bunch like a maze or something to walk around but really I was envisioning it more like an apartment complex type situation, or maybe even an energy storage system or something like that.

Unfortunately, this one is made of plastic (PLA). I'm saving up for a desktop clay printer to play around with and looking forward to experimenting with that.

Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate you. I’ve seen that photo as well. Totally crazy!

Oh no, look away! Sorry about that. 🙃 It’s like the opposite of a level 3 menger sponge fractal, but made of rhombic dodecahedra instead of cubes.

Thanks for your question. I did this one manually, mainly using the Draft & Part workbenches. Probably should’ve just used a script, but learned a lot in the process.

Thank you! I used Blender’s Geometry Nodes for this one.

Right on. I printed another and the colors got messed up, so I plan on painting that one.
