You've taken your summer vacation, but there's nothing to do. If so, how about making a craft using the popular 3D printer?

The 3D printing community "Thingiverse" has released "Cereal Box Townhouse," a small house made from empty boxes.

Although only the front of the house is shown, it is possible to create a standard overseas house structure. The door can be opened and closed, and it has steps. The exotic atmosphere of the details will appeal to those who loved playing with dolls when they were children and to those who love miniatures.

The 3D data provided includes the door and window frames, the parts that support them from the back of the box, and a stencil for drafting when cutting out the box. Once the guides are drawn and cut out at the desired locations, the fixing parts are fitted and supported from the backside.

Chad Ruble, who published the data, is a father of two children. He also has his own blog, dadhoc, where he introduces detailed instructions other than the data.

I don't have a 3D printer, but I would love to make one, even if I have to use a 3D printing service. By the way, foreign cereal boxes are very stylish...
