Rubik's Magic Cube

cults3d

Thank you very much Robo! See comments for details. I don't have my own printer, yet, so I'm not able to test this model myself. Feel free to modify anything so we can have a printable, working cube. When the cube is functioning mechanically, perhaps we can distinguish between the sides without colors? See corner_color for an example. My 3D background is from image and animation rendering, where it's important to maintain quads and avoid many edges meeting in a vertex. I don't know if it matters much in 3D printing? The flat sides on the pieces are 20 Wings unit wide/high/deep, which should equal to 20mm. EDIT: I split the side and the corner (diagonally) in two parts to make it printable, but it needs to be glued together afterwards. Files updated. EDIT2: "v2" New side and corners, resting on side. Scaled 10x from before. EDIT3: "v3" Side piece turned the right way this time. Raft and flat bottom version of axis. All new objects combined in one Wings3D file for less clutter. EDIT4: April 17. 2010 - Robo printed the first working cube! EDIT5: "v4" Updated the corner piece with smaller connection part and beveled edges/smoothing (polygons went from 67 to 3432). Would love feedback and thoughts on this.http://makezine.com/go/makerbot
