Description
Color Cubes were a 1930's product marketed to children as a designing & patterning toy.
My grandmother acquired a set as a kid and it was eventually passed down to me. She recently passed away, and I wanted to have a few replicas for all of her other grandchildren + great great grandchildren to never forget how much fun we had with it when we were young.
So, here it is. Pick a cube style, print the lid upside down, and print the base. Use any red, blue, yellow, and white/beige filament of your choosing. Feel free to switch the colors up if desired.
You can pretty much make any pattern with this, and then flip it over on a table to reverse/invert it! It's pretty fun. The last image has a map of all the patterns included with the original set.
