Fidget Cube Remix by ellie_l

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I really liked the idea behind the printed fidget cube, and after printing and using CThig's design for a few days (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1844556), I thought I could improve some aspects of it. The size should now be correct for putting into slicers, the wheel has a finger-divot instead of a post to spin, and has a circular internal 'clip' so that it doesn't fall out, the tunnel has two sizes of entry both now smoothed, the slider can be printed directly on the piece (just be extremely careful removing supports!) so there's no seam and it has a bigger place to put your finger, and I put some holes behind the switch so that two pieces of 8mm-long 1.75mm flexible filament can be put in it to give it more of a "click" feeling. Like the original, this can be completely 3D printed, but I've also include a wheel and a second cube that can be used with a 625Z bearing for the wheel.
Edit 4/17/17: If you're having trouble printing the maze section, I added some more alternatives where the maze and slider print as a separate piece from the main cube. You can still choose with or without a bearing for the wheel. In these files (Cube - No Maze, Maze and Slider), there are two 1.8mm holes in them that are for a 5mm-long piece of 1.75mm filament that you can insert as guides to glue the maze to the cube. Caution: I have not yet printed this to try it out yet -- if you do, let me know how it works!
In case you don't have 1.75mm filament on-hand, I've also included a "filament shaft" that will print the cylinder guide you'll need when gluing the parts together.
