Description
Are you ready for a truly gigantic toy? This fidget cube is gigantic in size, but still only requires less than 80g of filament. For gigantic fun, but not for wimps with two left hands.
Printing instructions
Before you start printing: You need some manual dexterity to assemble the individual cubes, as you have to make sure that all the clips actually click into place.
The cube halves are best printed in spiral vase mode for the best result. You can also print several at the same time (1 shell, no filling, no top layers), but then you should set the seam position to random so that the seam cannot form a weak point. I used PLA for mine to test whether this also works. However, the best layer adhesion and breaking strength is achieved with PETG.
The clips and hinges can be printed "normally". PETG or ASA is also preferable to PLA here.
Filament pieces are inserted into the holes in the corners. A special cutting aid is included to cut all pieces to 30mm. However, the cubes also hold without this filament.
There is now also a version with 80mm. I don't have a cutting aid for the filament pieces for this version.
