Description

An apprentice machinist usually created a classic Turner's cube. This design gives the illusion of a multi-color print where in fact it's an assembled multi-part print that allows the design to be almost seamless. 

This can be used in aid to understand the principles of creating a turners CUBE with a 3D Understanding prior to machining on CNC.

  • The cube dimensions are 120mm. 
  • Layer height is 0.2mm
  • I used tree supports but I believe standard would also work and possibly give better quality on overhangs. Make sure there is support from the halfway mark of the circles otherwise, they may get top-heavy and get knocked by the head. (It happened to mine)
  • Paint on support in Orcaslicer is great for the above.

Assemble

  • Insert smallest cube 4 into cube 3 then plus 4x corner pieces. (SEE images)
  • Insert cube 4 & 3 into cube 2 and connect corner tabs to lock in place
  • Insert all cubes into cube 1 and add locking corner pieces.
  • You can glue them in place, if tight fit shave the tabs with a blade (be careful)
