Borg Cube Geocache

thingiverse

So a friend is creating a series of Star Trek related geocaches and asked me to design one. This project took about forever to complete. I am using ABS plastic and had some really severe warping issues. In the end, I printed both larger items with a substantial brim to get them to stick. The cube was the worst as it has very little surface area (10mm) touching the bed. It failed around 6-7 times. It failed most often when using a raft, and even with a brim, I had to enclose the printer in my case with a large cardboard box. To use the box as a geocache you will need 10mm x 2mm round magnets like this https://goo.gl/jby2LB You will also want to use either rite-in-rain paper or another container, bison tube or dna film canister, inside because it is not waterproof. Print 8 of the retainers as there are 4 spots on the lid and the box for magnets. Thanks to Simakrima for creating a great design that was easy to print!
