The CUBICAL Spinner

thingiverse

This creation was born out of my fascination with the Bearing-less fidget spinner. Check out that design if you haven't already! http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1960183\nI sought to craft something truly captivating and intricate, yet simultaneously something I would enjoy printing. After about 4 1/2 hours of designing, the cube in-a cube spinner came into being! I like to call it the Cubical spinner - a true marvel for mathematical, physics-loving, and CAD-enthusiast nerds! It's not an easy print, as it requires multiple supports and a precise layer height to print optimally. But once you overcome these challenges, you'll have the coolest fidget-toy in town!\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand:\n Robo 3D\n \n Printer: \n R1 ABS + PLA Model\n \n Rafts: \n Doesn't Matter\n \n Supports: \n Yes\n \n Resolution: \n .1 - .3\n \n Infill: \n 10-100%\n \n Notes:\n Make sure to use supports from the BASE! if you use supports everywhere, it will likely ruin the holes from which the smaller cube spins... Unless you're fortunate enough to own a printer with water-soluble support. (I'm looking at you, Ultimaker 3 owners...)\nPost-Printing\nRemove supports carefully! Then, if your inner cube is fused, simply turn the rods on either side of the cube or the disks on its outer surface. It should break free and spin smoothly.\n \n Cube raw on the build plate, with supports still attached.\n\n \n \n Cubical spinner Promo Video\n\n Sorry for the low quality! Vimeo reduced it from 1440p to 720p for some reason...
