Description

🇫🇷 OrbCube – Puzzle mécanique imprimable en 3D

Quand le cube rencontre la sphère

OrbCube est un casse-tête mécanique original combinant une cage cubique et une sphère interne segmentée en 8 parties mobiles.

Le principe est simple : faire pivoter les segments internes afin d’aligner les couleurs et reconstituer des faces uniformes visibles à travers la cage.

Le modèle présenté correspond volontairement à une version accessible, permettant de découvrir facilement le mécanisme et le fonctionnement du puzzle.

Le concept OrbCube peut être décliné en versions plus complexes, notamment en augmentant le nombre de couleurs ou en modifiant la répartition des segments pour accroître la difficulté.
