Not yet built by anyone. This kit was made and checked by software and by AI critics, not test-printed and glued by a person. Print one piece first (each is a named object on its plate, and on its own in pieces/ where the kit was made), check how it fits, and tell us how it went: github.com/rtmandreyev/construct/issues.
