TubeCross geometric 3D tessellation toy

Last minute entry for the Tessellating tiles design contest. Based on my earlier CubeCross design. This model doesn't have plugs to keep the halves together, but it uses caps at each face instead.

Print both body halves and 6 caps and snap fit all the parts together. Depending on your brand of printer and its settings it might require a bit of force. You can scale the caps a bit to ensure a less tight fit. Add some metal ball bearings, nuts or marbles inside the cap before assembly and it will make a nice shaker.

Print multiple TubeCross models to start building interesting tessellating patterns and 3D objects. See my CubeCross model for examples.
