UPDATE - all improved version 2 is here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/766182#profileId-701502

-----------------------

Description

This is a version of my Crazy cube that has lose joints all around - the original has 4 stiffer joints which I think makes the toy more satisfying, but several people requested a version with those joints to be the same as the others so here is a version like that - let me know which you prefer!

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?
Copies - I have had some DMs about some copies of this design that have sprung up on Makerworld - check the dates on this and my first iterations - this is the original! These copies are called “Upgraded Infinity Cube”, “Shape Snake Fidget Fun” and “Ultimate Fidget Cube Print in Place”. Would be nice if they credited us for the original, but there you go! If you see any other copies let me know as it's fun to see this design spreading.
Kubo - I have also had some DMs about a fidget called Kubo by Kubominds on Kickstarter - this has nothing to do with me and you will notice the date on my original design is from well before that Kickstarter went live. They have been very successful in selling the model though so if you would like a commercial licence for my original and first design please checkout my Patreon

Printing instructions

Print using the built-in profile
There are 6 sizes in the profile there from 100% down to 55%
- I actually love playing with these smaller sizes the most!
You can even print it at 50% with a well-tuned printer - maybe smaller? Let me know if you do manage!
Ease the joints gently a few times when you take it off the bed
Supports are not needed even if Bambu Slicer tells you it is.

ngl i think i like this one more it just flows through the shapes imo

@user_2022416004

I have printed this 3 times and worked the joints gentle and slowly but they just broke. Not sure of it was the 80% size. Awesome design and cool. Going to try the CubeIQ and hopefully better joints.

@taylormadearmy

That looks like a silk filament? I've found some silks or matte PLAs- especially as they get older, have bad layer strength

@user_2022416004

Replying to @taylormadearmy :

Thank you very much and yes it was silk that I recently received from Bambu. I reprinted with your new model CubeIQ and I used the same filament, and it worked awesome!

one of my son’s fav fidgets! I like that it’s functional. we printed in dual silk and metal gold.

The designer has replied

@taylormadearmy

looks beautiful. I love these dual silks! they also seem a lot stronger than the original silks too right?

@artpaes3d

It turned out perfect, amazing STL...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I printed one and showed it to a friend. Then I didn't have it any longer. :-o So I had to print a 2nd one for myself.
