Rubik's cube for the blind (fully printable)

thingiverse

Create a tactile Rubik's Cube that is solvable even by the visually impaired by following these steps: Firstly, print all the required parts using a 3D printer and super glue to assemble. The Cube consists of six patterns - dots, stripes, plain, pyramid, circle, and hole. These patterns are printed on distinct faces of each piece. To start with, print eight corners, each with a different pattern. Then move on to printing 12 edge inner parts and 12 edge outer parts, each with two face patterns. Glue an inner part to its respective outer part for each edge. Next, print six center inner parts, six center core parts, and six center outer parts, each with a unique pattern. Assemble these three parts together for each of the six centers without gluing them. The core is a small cube where all the assembled centers are then glued to. Ensure that the core is evenly printed for smooth rotation. Glue the centers to the core in the correct arrangement of patterns, paying special attention to the corners and edges. Finally, assemble the cube like a regular Rubik's Cube, following a tutorial if necessary. Your fully 3D-printed tactile Rubik's Cube is now ready for use!
