Fidget Star

myminifactory

Open, close, repeat. One way it's a box and the other way it's a star. Then a box again. Then a star once more. Repeat that repetition. This hinged print-in-place model is a remix of the Fidget Cube. It 3D prints fully assembled, in one piece, folded up! A snub version is also included for those who prefer the classic fidget style. For design enthusiasts: Many thanks to Greg Knapp, who used Blender to fold up the original Fidget Cube model and print it as a closed cube. His YouTube video inspired me to create the same effect in OpenSCAD code so that the Fidget Cube could be printed as a fully enclosed box. The remix gave me the chance to make the snub side of the fidget a more intriguing star shape. For math enthusiasts: The "star" is a stellated rhombic dodecahedron, and this model forms half of a Yoshimoto cube.
