Description

A Fully 3D Printed Rubik's Cube

 

Features:

  • Simple Assembly
  • Completely Functional
  • Customisable
  • Easy To Print
  • A Fun Fidget

 

Assembly:

 

This Rubik's cube is assembled exactly the same as any standard 3X3

* Add the coloured caps AFTER assembly *

 

  • First, assemble the 'Core' and 'Centre C' by pressing the male pins into the female cups

 

  • These are a very tight fit and require a fair bit of force to pop into place.

 

  • Be careful not to twist the centre pieces as you press them into the core, as you are likely to snap the male pin.

 

  • Once the core is assembled with 6X Centre pieces, follow the example video below:

 

Extra Info:

 

  • This is not a speed cube and should be used with more care than a standard Rubik's cube.

 

  • Tolerances between blocks are fairly loose to allow for easy push fit only assembly. This does mean that this cube is a bit looser than an injection moulded equivalent.

 

  • Coloured caps are tight enough to push fit in place. This can depend on different filament brands though, so there is a potential need for a dab of superglue under any loose ones.

 

  • 6 Colours are needed for a full cube, however, the included print profile is set up with no more than 4 colours per plate. This allows it to be printed with 1 AMS lite and manual colour changes (If you add some pauses)

 

Thanks for looking!

sorry but not twisting center didn’t help, all of central parts are broken after inserting them in core

Try rotating them 90 degrees and printing with support. This was suggested by another user who had similar trouble.

Is that Silk PLA? Silk PLA is much more fragile than regular PLA or PLA+ I have learned this the hard way lol :)

Maybe upload a new profile? Or mention it in the description? Very greatful for the awesome model, but anything that can help people avoid waisting time and filament would also be very much apprecited, I'm sure :)

I tried, tried, tried but nothing to do, it's too fragile

The impression went well, but all the pines in the middle split where broke. It's pretty in decoration but not usable

'Be careful not to twist the centre pieces as you press them into the core, as you are likely to snap the male pin.' I don't know how I can be more clear....

Fun print. I had better success rotating the centers by 90 in y so that the grain ran along the pegs and not across it. After doing that the pegs didn't snap when assembling the cube.

I have snapped one of the center pieces when assembling it but I could easily print another one back and assemble the cube without any issues. I had to put some paper behind some of the colored dots so they would not fall, I could have used glue but I didn't want to. I have scrambled and solved the cube multiple times but it's not super smooth. Thanks for sharing the design!

Hat alles perfekt zusammen gepasst und wenn ich es nicht schaffe, alles nach dem verdrehen wieder ordentlich farblich zu sortieren, dann löse ich die Farbplättchen wieder ab. :-)

Nach vielen optimieren(mehr als 10h) der Druckvorlage bleibt es unbrauchbar. Die Verankerung der Mittelteile brechen oder halten nicht. Hätte ich mir mehr davon erhofft.

pretty neat. it was a bit frustrating after putting it together a couple of the center ones have popped out and it falls apart. not sure how it can be done, but it would be nice to see the center connections redesigned. or i can just be more careful. thanks for making.

Works perfectly, only a little bit loose and therefor hard to turn
