I thought some of you might be interested...

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4264614

I modeled my house and most of the furniture in it, at 1:25.4 scale.
(That is, one inch in the real world is one millimeter in the model.)

I've mentioned this project several times over the last few years, and I
finally decided that it was "done enough" that I'd post it on
Thingiverse. Approximately 9300 lines of OpenSCAD, 80+ distinct models,
100+ distinct printed objects. About 4KG of plastic all told. Probably
at least 200-300 hours of work over the last three years.

If you look at the sources... in looking over them for submission, I see
that they could use an awful more commentary. There's sometimes large
blocks of geometric manipulation with little or no commentary, which
makes it hard to see what part of the object is being built. If this
was professional work, I'd drudge my way through cleaning it up... but
it's not, and it's all one-shot. If you're curious about something and
would like it explained, just ask.

There are many more photos on Thingiverse, along with renders, STLs,
explanations, and source files, but here's an overview:

I'm assuming you printed it in sections. Did you make joining members like
pegs. dovetails, etc; or did you just glue things together?

Each room is its own print. Only one room - the living room - was too
big for the print bed; I split it in half and glued it together. The
rest are all separate. While being displayed, they're locked into place
by a wood frame. I bought two pieces of Masonite, put the model on top,
traced a line around it, then cut that out of the top piece with a
jigsaw. The rooms are easily removed. This allows one to take a single
room out to work with it separately, or to allow photography that
wouldn't be easy with the model assembled.

I was originally thinking of using some kind of connector (and designed
some clips), but never followed up on it.

Rather like a kid's wood jigsaw puzzle.

Great work, Jordan! Really fantastic!

I'll take the time to look at the code in more detail over the next few days.

I started modeling my house (partially) some time ago, but I haven't
finished the work yet. There were other projects – the completely new
design of the bathroom in my son's house last year, for example.

Thanks!

I'll take the time to look at the code in more detail over the next few days.

Parts of it are hugely over-engineered, with tons more math and
flexibility than was actually needed for the models that I needed to
make. (The "cabinet" module comes to mind.) Some parts are
well-documented, but the individual pieces of furniture are often masses
of uncommented geometry. I hadn't realized how bad it was until I
started to go over it for this project... and then I realized that it
was large enough that if I tried to clean it up to my usual professional
standards, it'd be another year before I could submit it, for
essentially no change in the resulting models. (But at least it's all
fairly well indented.)

If you have any questions, or if you're particularly interested in some
part, I'll be happy to explain or add comments.

Make that "for this submission".
