Double sided 3-way joint - Cube Assembly

thingiverse

This is a modification of my previous upload of a 3-way symmetric joint example, mirroring the joint onto both ends of the shaft. The orientation of the joints enables sliding together of 12 parts to form a cube. One hundredth of an inch was shaved off the joint parts in the .stl file to allow for assembly without much post print filing. The part was also created in OpenSCAD and made customizable using the Customizer app. The length, width, and tolerance of the shaft can be modified to your liking. Check back soon for images of an assembled cube! Also, don't forget to check out my other (non-mirrored) 3-way joint. It's a great demonstration piece, requiring only three copies to be printed instead of twelve. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: Your choice; I did twenty percent. Notes: Supports are needed to support the prongs at the ends, and a high-resolution print is not necessary for assembly due to simple rectangular shapes. How I Designed This I designed this parametrically in Inventor. It will soon be designed parametrically in OpenSCAD as well.
