Description

The Inuit igloo is an outstanding invention for surviving in extremely cold conditions, reflecting the courage and wisdom of the Inuit. This circular structure, built entirely from blocks of snow, can maintain relative warmth in frigid environments of dozens of degrees below zero through its ingenious construction.

The inspiration for this night light comes from this picture.

  • Built in the exact same way as a true igloo! The snow bricks are stacked in a spiral pattern (rather than in layers like a brick wall), with a gradually decreasing diameter to form a solid dome structure.

  • A great deal of time was spent hand-crafting each snow brick, giving each one a unique shape. The edges are purposefully uneven to mimic the imperfections of real snow blocks.

  • The design includes a base compatible with LED Lamp Kit 001. You can also put a tea light or something else, anyway, just cover it on the light source.
  • The supports are already set (you can reduce some if you are particularly confident with your printer).

NOTE: If you ever need to build an emergency igloo in the Arctic, remember to first dig out the height difference as shown in the diagram below.

The sleeping platform is a raised area. With warmer air rising and cooler air settling, the entrance area acts as a cold trap whereas the sleeping area will hold whatever heat is generated by a stove, lamp, body heat, or other device.

It is so lovely! Thank you very much for the thoughtful and design and detailed description! I printed it with 0.08mm high quality to give it the most respect out of a 0.4mm nozzle.

Ok, but I need to do some research first, because I'm a nerd and I've never been to a disco ...

Thank you for your recognition. Before creating the model, I watched a documentary from 1949 (added to the introduction). I think culture should be celebrated correctly.
