Physical Representation of a Cube A 1L cube has been designed to help students grasp that it actually consists of 1000 small cubes, each measuring 1cm3 (1mL). Ronny Koob is credited with designing this concept. Feedback from users would be greatly appreciated as the design was created quickly and without much attention to detail. An interesting print artifact is observed on the X-axis where the pillars outside the ridges appear skewed due to the slicer's printing of the X-axis bridges first. The plastic contraction pulls these pillars inwards while keeping the center ones straight. On the Y-axis, this skewing effect is less pronounced. Notably, both slicers print internal bridging in a zig-zag pattern, which reduces the overall skewing effect within the cube. A side benefit of the internal tension is that the object becomes quite rigid and durable despite its fragile structure. This design uses 40g of filament, making it ideal for testing print strength.
