Hilbert Cube

thingiverse

Initially, I aimed to create a 3D print of a Hilbert Cube using water-soluble PVA support. However, I faced challenges in OpenSCAD and opted for a workaround by writing a Ruby script generating OpenSCAD code for 1-3 iterations of Hilbert curves. Drawing inspiration from Thomas Diewald's Processing script, the result was visually appealing but not a true Hilbert Cube due to the lack of continuous curve. A proper parametric Hilbert Cube generator would be ideal. Later, I discovered Carlo H. Séquin's curved Hilbert Cube from his website and utilized it for printing. Despite its aesthetic appeal, the print quality was challenging due to its curvature. As a side project, I created nowipe.rb, a script that removes wipe movements in merged gcode, addressing z-offset issues in ReplicatorG's dualstrusion merging process.
