VEX Squared Away 2019-2020 miniature game pieces

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

These are non-functional miniature versions of the field elements for VEXIQ Squared Away in the 2019-2020 season.
These were designed to be glued on to custom printed "trophy" plates with our school name and the year. With a magnet glued to the back, I will give these to each of my competition team students as a refrigerator keepsake.
There are 4 suggested print methods for this project, each using specific files:
Fastest, easiest, but least interesting final result
+Single color print
+a single piece
+minimal supports
+the ball is on the inside of the cube
use>>> Squared Away ball inside cube single piece.stl
most interesting, but has post-printing assembly required
+the ball is on top of the cube
+printing in colors matching the game pieces
+reduced amount of supports needed
+gluing the ball and cube pieces -- to facilitate gluing, one cross piece has small divots to improve the adhesion for CA glue (superglue); be sure to place the ball into that spot
use>>> Squared Away cube only for ball on top.stl & Squared Away ball only.stl
quick set up for multiple copies, but has post-printing assembly required
+single color (single head printers)
+2 color (double head printers)
+glue the pieces together -- to facilitate gluing, one cross piece has small divots to improve the adhesion for CA glue (superglue); be sure to place the ball into that spot
use>>> Squared Away ball and cube.stl
Slowest, most expensive, but awesome result
+single, solid piece
+single color printing
+no gluing required
+will need lots of extra supports
use>>> Squared Away single piece cube on top.stl
