Turner’s Cube – 3D Printable & CNC Machinable

This beautifully designed Turner’s Cube is a classic machining exercise brought to life in both 3D printed and CNC-machined forms. Ideal for showcasing geometric precision, this model is perfect for both beginners in additive manufacturing and enthusiasts of traditional subtractive processes.

🔧 Project Details:

• Final Dimensions: 50mm x 50mm x 50mm (Printed at 50% scale)
• Layer Height: 0.30 mm
• Infill: 50%
• Filament Used: Approx. 42.6g
• Print Time: ~2 hours 09 minutes
• Complexity Level: 10% (Beginner-friendly)
• Estimated Time to Complete: 115–120 minutes

🛠️ Machining Update – Project Milestone

As of 03/02/2014, the Turner’s Cube model was successfully machined using a Haas CNC 4-axis system by Chris Campbell. High-quality renderings of the machined model are available in the GrabCAD project gallery. The machining program will soon be available for download, providing a valuable learning resource for CNC enthusiasts.

This project serves as a great benchmark for:

• Understanding nested geometries
• Exploring tolerance and symmetry
• Practicing 4-axis machining operations
• Demonstrating 3D printing accuracy

Whether you're an educator, student, or hobbyist, the Turner’s Cube is a must-try model to understand the intersection of digital fabrication and traditional machining.
