3D Printed Mechanism Cubes

A growing collection of 30x30mm cubes with integrated mechanisms for educational or decorative use. We recommend downloading and reading the Mechanism Cube Guide PDF prior to 3D printing as correct print orientations are important for several models. Current models include:

• Hinge
• Screw
• Ball + Socket
• Rack + Pinion
• Cam + Follower
• Mechanism Cube Wall Mount
• + More coming soon!

The models form part of PrintLab's mini course on 3D printed mechanisms, where you can learn how to use Tinkercad or Autodesk Fusion to design the mechanism cubes you see here. Check out the introduction video below and head over to the course here - https://weareprintlab.com/projects/mechanism-cubes/.
