Kaleidocycle

thingiverse

I designed a kaleidocycle using six pseudo-tetrahedra with snap joint hinges. Watch this video for guidance: http://youtu.be/Qxe9ZNujcss. To assemble the cycle, begin by aligning "A" and "B" connectors correctly and ensuring both arrows point in the same direction. Slicing settings were set at 0.1 mm layer height, 4 mm wall, and 100% fill. The printed object has a wall thickness of 1.2 mm. Printing was done with PLA on an Ultimaker machine using Cura software. Assembling the kaleidocycle may be tricky initially; however, after learning the technique, it should take less than a minute per hinge joint. For easier assembly, I plan to create another model with fewer hinge connections. Have fun!
