Description

This is my own work, originally uploaded to Printables.

This model was originally designed for the Jointed Figures contest on Printables. This snap-fit model starts as a one-inch cube and flips inside out to reveal a cute, spiderlike robot.

Instructions

The 3MF file has all the parts laid out in one file, or you can print individual parts as desired. You'll need one cube body, two root joints, and four each of the legs and feet. Parts are designed to print without supports, but a brim can help with adhesion on the small parts.

Recommended print settings

Material	PETG, ABS, or ASA for best results PLA is okay, but the ball joints will loosen over time.
Layer height	0.15mm (first layer 0.2mm)
Infill	10-20% rectilinear
First layer speed	SLOW - 25% of default (at least for small parts)
Supports	None
Brim	As needed - small parts only A brim may interfere with the print-in-place hinges of the cube body.
Additional settings	✅ Print external perimeters first

Once the parts are printed, assemble them as shown in the video below. All parts should snap-fit into place, no glue needed. This video also shows how to pack Little Cube Guy into its cube form, then transform it into spider form.

@MarzMakez

translucent PETG?

@JoewithanL

Replying to @MarzMakez :

Sunlu Translucent PLA, it works pretty well

What a cool little guy, I've mistakenly scrolled by without much thought until @DistortedPlanet showed me theirs. Was a great print on my Mini in a few colours, only used brim on the leg mounts but think it would've been fine without. I could be hooked, there will be more :))

@DistortedPlanet

:) I'm glad you enjoy this print as much as I do!

I printed one of these little guys and I love him. I only had a slight issue with the box-to-leg ball joint piece attaching right but after a bit of work, it fit just right. I’m debating throwing him into Tinkercad and putting some Apeture Science logos on him and a remixed face because this guy gave me some serious Portal vibes.
