thingiverse

These are miniature versions of the field elements for VEX IQ Squared Away in the 2019-2020 season. They were designed to be glued onto custom printed "trophy" plates with our school name and year. With a magnet glued to the back, I will give these to each student on my competition team as a refrigerator keepsake. There are four suggested print methods for this project, each using specific files: Fastest and easiest method yields least interesting final result: Single color print Prints in one piece Minimal supports needed Ball is inside cube Use file: Squared Away ball inside cube single piece.stl Most interesting but requires post-printing assembly: Ball is on top of cube Prints in colors matching game pieces Reduces number of supports needed Glue ball and cube pieces together One cross piece has small divots for CA glue (superglue) to improve adhesion; place ball into that spot Use files: Squared Away cube only for ball on top.stl & Squared Away ball only.stl Quick setup method for multiple copies but requires post-printing assembly: Single color print (single head printers) Two-color print (double head printers) Glue pieces together One cross piece has small divots for CA glue (superglue) to improve adhesion; place ball into that spot Use file: Squared Away ball and cube.stl Slowest, most expensive method yields awesome result: Prints in one solid piece Single color printing needed No gluing required Lots of extra supports needed Use file: Squared Away single piece cube on top.stl
