Cube Spinner Desktop Toy

thingiverse

While looking at a wire frame cube at an angle, I was inspired by the way in which the sides of the shape interact and create interesting shapes with the light. I modeled this desktop toy to spin a wire frame cube at an angle for some interesting effects. The white base was printed on a Makerbot 2X, and the red spinning cube was printed vertically on a Makerbot 5th Generation 3D printer, making for a difficult print due to the small area at the base of the print. https://youtu.be/zexiI-m0xIg
