Cubical Kinetic sculpture - Print in place

The bridges in this print were a bit tricky, but my A1 Mini handled them well. Printed in PLA Sunlu Rainbow01, the gradient effect makes the transformations even more striking.

"Cubical is a kinetic 3D-printed sculpture based on a hexagonal prism, uniquely sliced along its largest diagonal into concentric hexagonal layers. This precise geometric segmentation allows the structure to shift, expand, and morph, creating dynamic transformations in both form and function." – ChatGPT

Thanks, ChatGPT—very cool!

This print worked well right from the start. The only support used was a brim on one edge to keep the center piece in place—otherwise, it prints support-free! When removing from the build plate, hold all the pieces together, as there’s very little friction between them.

For extra fun, rotate or flip the pieces to create different shapes and effects—especially if using rainbow or multicolor filament!

Would love to see how others print and modify it! 🚀
