Customizable Fidget Cube

thingiverse

This is a unique spin on the classic 2x4 Fidget cube. It has become one of my most popular 3D prints, and I'm amazed by how many people love this design. The cube can also double as a baby toy. No assembly is required when printing this model. To get the best results, it's highly recommended to print with support from the base plate only. There are some overhanging features that might be addressable in future designs, but for now, the print comes out smooth and even after a few initial bends. The cracking sound you hear as you flex it is completely normal. I created this design using OpenScad so that I could add text to the cube. If you don't have a dual extruder, simply set the textFill to 0, and the text will appear as an indentation on the surface of the cube. Alternatively, if you prefer no text at all, set the textFill to 2. The text feature is particularly useful for promotional purposes or advertising. One interesting aspect of this design is that the text on the hinge pins always appears in the correct orientation when the cube is properly aligned. For best results, use capital letters and short text phrases since small text can be difficult to read due to the gaps between the cubes.
