Pueblos of New Mexico, USA

🇺🇸 Welcome to New Mexico, USA!

This model was created in Tinkercad by Dany Sánchez.

In the Southwestern United States, Pueblo (capitalized) refers to both the Native tribes having fixed-location communities with permanent buildings, and the characteristic grouping of buildings themselves. The Spanish explorers of northern New Spain used the term "pueblo", translated as "town" and literally to "people", to refer to permanent indigenous towns they found in the region, mainly in present-day New Mexico and parts of Arizona, in the former large province of Nuevo México.

This term continued to be used to describe the communities housed in apartment structures built of stone, adobe mud, and other local material. The structures were usually multi-storied buildings surrounding an open plaza, with rooms accessible only through ladders raised/lowered by the inhabitants, thus protecting them from break-ins and unwanted guests. Larger pueblos were occupied by hundreds to thousands of Puebloan people. Various federally recognized tribes have traditionally resided in pueblos of such design. The term is now part of the proper name of some historical sites, such as Taos or Acoma Pueblo (from Wikipedia).

Printing Tips

We recommend scaling down in Z, so that the proportions are more accurate.

Suggested parameters:

For better details, print slow, such as 15 or 20mm/s for outer perimeters.
Fine-tune retraction to avoid stringing.
Perimeters: 2
Top layers: 3
Infill: minimum 12%, 

The ladders can only be printed with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 100% scale. Use a smaller nozzle or resin if scaling down.
