Rubiks Snake

thingiverse

Initially, I aimed to create a Rubik's Cube design, but decided against it due to its popularity. Instead, I chose to work on a Rubik's Snake Puzzle. The 45-degree overhang makes this puzzle challenging to model with only a few parts, resulting in an average of four components per link during assembly. Upon receiving my 3D printer, I plan to test the design and try various sizes. Included is an SKP file featuring the essential four components; suggestions for alternative joining methods are welcomed. However, this design remains untested. To assemble, you will need to print three STL files: Plate 1 consists of 11 regular prisms and one end prism (print twice for a total of 24 prisms); Plate 2 includes 46 prism locks for attaching links to prisms; and Plate 3 features 23 links for joining the prisms. The images provided demonstrate how the link and prism locks are connected to the prisms.
