OCTAGONAL SPHERE

thingiverse

This is what I call a Cube with Octagonal Faces and a Rotating Sphere inside. It boasts numerous cool features that make it perfect for printing in various designs. The triangular supports in the middle allow the sphere to spin freely while keeping it suspended. Because of its unique shape, this design can be placed on its flat base or positioned at an angle using the inward triangle. You can stack multiple units together in any desired configuration. The most exciting aspect of this toy is that all parts are detachable. The cube can rotate freely around the sphere, while you can also hold the sphere and spin the outer components. I've printed numerous versions of this design, and with a dual extruder, you can print the sphere in a different color to create a stunning visual effect. Since the sphere is positioned at the top, I added a cylindrical support on the bottom to avoid any issues with supports during printing. Simply rotate it using your preferred software so that it's below the cube, and only rafts will be necessary for this print job. Feel free to customize this design as you see fit – I hold no claims of ownership and aim to inspire others to create something even more innovative. If you have any questions or would like to collaborate on a customized version, please don't hesitate to send me an email at Driftedtadpole1@gmail.com, and I'll be happy to assist you.
