1x1x2 Stickerless Rubik's Cuboid

thingiverse

A simple one piece print that I used as a sort of warm up to my bigger 1x2x3. If this doesn't work on your printer, then you can rest assured neither will my 1x2x3. I mostly made this as a test of how well my printer could print a pin that reaches into a neighboring block, where it gets wider effectively locking the two blocks together while still allowing them to turn freely. It is not a hard puzzle, but it is one that lots of my friends enjoy because of it's simplicity. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: Thing-O-Matic Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .3mm Notes: Print laying on it's side. This is crucial because it causes the pin between the cubes to print horizontally (with the layers, which would be the strongest plane) as opposed to vertically against the layers (Putting the weakest plane chopping your pin in half). In my experience you actually can print a functional puzzle vertically, but the pin is much much weaker, and the pieces bind far more because they are on top of each other. Post-Printing At first it may be a bit stiff from the pin binding the two cubes together, but once that weak connection is broken you should be able to turn it quite easily. To do this just turn the puzzle carefully at first making sure the mechanism inside is really where it's turning, and not at the base of the pin. How I Designed This I designed this using solidworks, and have included to .sldprt file as well as the .stl.
