3D Printed Minecraft Castle Teaches Perimeter and Area

I realized that 3D printing is great for teaching spacial reasoning skills to students but how? I though one of the major concepts that can be taught in math is perimeter and area. It's easy to create and measure with a small object and if students make the design and print it themselves it will greatly increase the chances of them learning the actual concept not just how to calculate it.
