Telescopic Cube

Parametric Telescopic Cube:Telescopic cube is a parametric model. It allows customize the size, thickness and height of the legs. Since the legs are printed concentrically (that's why it's telescopic) you'll want to use the tool to tap or pound them apart. The brackets are designed to mate with either the inner or outer leg. By alternating the brackets you can always make a smart connection. The fasters help secure everything together and match the peg settings. Use the basic structure as a frame to be finished with other materials or print the table top for a 100% 3D printed piece of furniture. Granted its a box, but I had fun making it. And don't forget to expand it in all dimensions.Customize It:You can customize the model files using this workflow:https://github.com/martin-woolstenhulme/telescopic-cube/actions/workflows/create-cube-parts.ymlOnce the workflow completes you can download the zip file from the workflow artifacts. Original scad files can be found in the accompanying repo.Print InstructionsMaterial: PLALayer height: 0.2 mm (Basically default Quality or Speed settings for Prusa MK3S+Infill min. 15 or 20%No support! Know you printer's clearance. Mine worked well enough using .2 mm without fusing the legs impossible together. Your mileage may vary.Note:The inspiration was wanting to print a table on a single built plate for the table contest. I fell short of that goal, but you ran with the idea of print table legs concentrically, so I could make a submission. Using a large nozzle might help crank the leg extrusions out faster.Also, I think taking advantage of Github actions to make it easy to generate your own models with OpenSCAD is pretty slick.Finally, just like it so I can win the top prize.
