1cm-hollow cube for strength test

thingiverse

I wanted a way to test materials and this seemed the way - other sizes out there but what makes this one unique is it is not a perfect cube ~! ha !! Also a great way to see how well the material does bridging -- PLA is not great at bridging - It would be nice to suggest you print with the narrowest struts at the top (means the thing is taller when printed than it is wide), after printing I see it isnt possible, just print it , you can't orient it for narrow or wide because I don't think it's possible, maybe for a hypercube. Can also be used for calibration - longest struts should be 1cm, but are actually 12mm as measured on my 1st print. 2mm struts . A 1cm , 2x2 strut is the basic unit. To test, I downloaded the cube file, printed it at 50%fill, about 210 down to 205c and .25lh. Supposed to be about a gram and takes less than 5min. *** I don't claim to be a mech eng. !!! I measured 12mm on longest and 10mm on shortest legs !!
