Description
This is an enhanced version of the classic fidget cube. I have modified the design to include internal pockets for 48 magnets, giving the cube a tactile, snappy feel that makes it much more satisfying to play with.
Tactile Snap: The magnets provide a crisp "click" and help the cube hold its shape in different positions.
Hidden Design: The magnets are inserted during the printing process, making them completely invisible and secure.
Optimized Fit: Designed specifically for standard 6x3mm neodymium magnets.
48x Neodymium Magnets (6x3mm)
To ensure the cube functions correctly, you must pay close attention to the magnetic polarity and the multiple print pauses.
Five Print Pauses: Because the holes are at different heights, you need to set 5 separate pauses in your slicer to insert all 48 magnets. Check your slicer preview to find the exact layers where the holes are about to be closed.
Check Polarity: Follow the provided reference image carefully. The magnets must alternate between North (+) and South (-) as shown in the diagram. Tip: Use a marker to label your magnets before inserting them.
Insert Magnets: During each pause, drop the magnets into the open slots. Ensure they are seated flat so the nozzle doesn't hit them when the print resumes.
No Support Needed: The internal cavities are designed to be bridged, so you don't need supports inside the magnet holes.
