Superstrings - 2019 update

thingiverse

Superstrings is a Turning Interlocking Cube (TIC) puzzle with only two pieces. You can assemble and disassemble this puzzle by sliding and rotating the pieces in the correct sequence. This updated version of the award-winning Superstrings puzzle has been made possible by Aaron Siegel's Puzzlecad program. The included OpenSCAD file allows you to edit the size of the pieces, the amount of chamfer on the edges, and the degree of offset on the faces. There are four STL files for printing. To complete the A piece, print 1 Superstrings_Base_A.stl, 2 Superstrings_Arm.stl, and 2 Superstrings_End.stl. For the B piece, you will need to print 1 Superstrings_Base_B.stl, 2 Superstrings_Arm.stl, and 2 Superstrings_End.stl. Please pay attention to the recommended settings for your printer and filament combination. If you notice even a slight tendency to over-extrusion, lower your extrusion multiplier setting. Small gaps in your top surfaces are better than small bumps. Print the base A set first in one color and then print the base B set in a different color. Check out the video to see how the parts are assembled. P.S. I discovered that the splitting happened when I increased the chamfer setting to 1 mm. I have now reset it to 0.5 mm, which solved my test prints' splitting problem.
