How it works

Three steps to a noodle fort

Connector balls being 3D printed on a printer bed
STEP 1

Print the connectors

Balls are 20 g, arms just 10 g. A half-spool prints a whole fort. Files are free on MakerWorld.

STEP 2

Grab cheap noodles

Any supermarket pool noodle works β€” about 2 β‚¬ each. Cut them to size for diagonals.

STEP 3

Plug, twist, build big

Each ball has sockets every 45Β° β€” screw in an arm, push in a noodle, and go full architect.
