Yet Another Fidget Infinity Cube v2

prusaprinters

<p>v2 of my cube features easier-to-print joints, more durable construction, and a design that should be more compatible with a range of print settings. I highly recommend printing this version over the previous v1 (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2595224">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2595224</a>).</p> <p>A small test file has been included so that you can try out your print settings before printing the entire model. You can try rotating it to print in all 3 of the required joint orientations if you wish. There is also a rounded variant of the cube, which is more difficult to print, but nicer to hold.</p> <p>Prints at 0.2 mm layer height and takes about 3-3.5 hours. Requires about 12 m (37 g in PLA) of filament. Please let me know your results!</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>This thing is <em>optimized for 0.2 mm layer height</em>. Please try that first before any other resolutions. It's also designed for a 0.4 mm nozzle width, so no guarantees it will work well with another size.</p> <p>10% infill is more than enough to support the top surfaces if you have good cooling. Go up from this number if you prefer a bit heftier of a cube, which makes it a bit more fun to play with IMO. My coworkers fight over the 100% infill cubes I've brought into the office.</p> <p>Some other tips for best print results: use the part cooling fan at 100% (except for your first layer), turn the model diagonally in your slicer so that X and Y axes move together for most of the moves, use 2+ vertical shells/perimeters for strength, and print at the coolest temperature you reasonably can for your material to avoid stringing or lamination where it's unwanted.</p> <p><strong>Cura users: Be sure to disable "Ignore Small Z Gaps" under your "Shell" settings or this will not slice properly and the joints will be fused together!</strong></p>
