1x1 wrh!'s 3d printed cubing projects | 15cm 5x5

[1x1 wr holder!]

Could you share a picture of it so far?

I'm printing everything pretty quickly so I'll just share pictures once I get everything assembled. I should have something to show for by the end of the day.

here is 2/3 of the squan. the layer turns well, but is loose so it pops extremely easily. I will fix this.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

okay, I'm going to put a stop on this and just transition into v2. the puzzle turns, but sort of like the first rubik's cube, you can just pull the edges. I know exactly what to do. I will have to reprint the two slice layers along and perhaps the edges, but that is it. back to the drawing board!

aaaarrghhh, the problem is worse that I thought. I'm going to have to completely redesign the puzzle. I made some stuff too big and some stuff too small.

okay, just finished a load of homework and am working on the version 2 rn. things are going smoothly.

wait, is from that SNL thing?

from _Alice's Adventures In Wonderland_ by Lewis Carroll

... it's also been made into some movies
so
maybe there is an ep or two of SNL out there with a sketch about ot

also mentioned in THE MATRIX (follow the white rabbit, down the rabbit hole, etc.)

okay, my brain is all like I've heard that before, and then I pick like the least common one lol.

the slice pieces and one edge and corner piece have now been printed for squan v2 (thinking of calling it the Woohoo).

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Here’s a look at v1 track design vs v2
.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Success! I have printed the slice layers plus one layer, and it turns great and doesn't pop. I can do a U flick pretty well. I can't wait to sand this a bit and add some lubricant.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

well, it's finished, it turns well, but sorta. so in cube shape, it's fine, but once I get like 6 or more edge pieces on one side, the puzzle gets really tight. all and all, I'm happy with it. This will be the Woohoo Squan V1. that other one was prototype. will post pictures tomorrow. it's too dark rn.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Whoops sorry i forgot to post pics yesterday, I was busy bombing the SAT lol.

wow look impressive! Is it printed in PLA?

Yes, I printed it in pla.

 

[HK-Speedcube]

Yes, I printed it in pla.

it make me want to design puzzle too lol. how long does it took to design/print/prototyp/redesign etc?

 

[artless1der]

Yes, I printed it in pla.

I'm going to be honest, it all depends on how experienced you are with doing all of the above. I'm very experienced with working with my printer, but my 3d modeling is mediocre so the process took me about 20 hours. This counts the prototype design, the making of the prototype, the revision, and the making of v1. I have an ender 3 v2, and at 80mm per second, I can print an edge piece in 15min, a corner in 20, and a slice in 50, so not too bad. of course, this is just for the sqaun, which is a simpler puzzle with very few minutes of post processing, so the time really depends on the puzzle.

but don't let the time hinder you! have fun and jump in head-first! 3d printed puzzles are awesome projects.

ok thanks, i guess you probably dont use tinkercad for designing?
