Description

This is not “just another fidget cube”.

 

It's a very different design that is super fun, has a crazy number of combinations and is pretty much a puzzle as much as a toy - can you find all the shapes it can make?

  • Can you get it back to the starting position?
  • How quickly can you get it from the cube configuration to the snake and back?

 

Printing instructions

  • Print using the built-in profile
  • There are 4 sizes there from 100% down to 70%
  • You can even print it at 50% with a well-tuned printer
  • Ease the joints gently a few times when you take it off the bed
  • There are 4 joints that are purposely slightly tighter than the others - this ensures you can get the toy back to its starting position more easily, making it even more satisfying!

came out REALLY well! love this! only feedback is I would love a version where all the tolerances are loose, feels like it might break every time I want to bend those couple of hinges that are a bit tighter. having those loose would make this just a bit more fun to play with! ps: what filament is that in the GIF??

Now you've been playing with it a while do you still find those joints too tight? they are purposely tighter than the others which makes it far easier to get back to the starting position which I find makes it all the more satisfying to play with. While they are tighter I don't think there is any danger of them breaking... It's lovely filament isn't it! It's Sunlu tri-color silk.

I’ve for sure got them a little looser now! I had to bend each of the four quite a few times to get it a bit more fluid. idk if you’ve seen it, there’s another version of this that’s flat, and instead of having hinges, it has just a single layer that bends and folds. I love how fluid that one is! however, using the single foldable layer as a hinge, it eventually tears. love the durability and thickness of this design, and would love the fluidness of the other one if it’s not crazy hard or anything up upload a second one without the tighter four hinges :)
