Topic: Block-based 3D Modelling Tool

Hey guys.

I'm working on a block based 3D modelling tool. Really great for when you need to quickly throw a model together, or if you want to allow your friends to get in to 3D printing without having to learn how to model. Would love to get some feedback!

Here's a link: https://makethingsnow.com/beta/

And here's a few examples:

Re: Block-based 3D Modelling Tool

Looks like it would be good for kids to learn with and mine craft players as well.  But it does/can produce models that need repair that the novice person would not see.  Here is a file the program created, and the STL output running through netfab checks.

The yellow lines are problems that need to be fixed before it will slice properly.
This is the sliced output, as you can see it is not what was expected.
