more cube gears

thingiverse

new version:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2383107 I liked to make cube gears with rounded corners (not with sharp corners). The design of whpthomas has only old pinpegs and is one type and does not provide a scad file. So I have taken the scad file by emmett and have made round corners. Here you can have 3 different gear ratios of the cube. At photo, the multicolor gearcube has unsymmetrical translated shape. stl not provided, uncomment in scad file if you need. To get the colors, I have put two 1.75-filaments in a 3mm extruder. Result are shades and layers. My original design of Globe Holder is for 45mm sidelength, it fits to whpthomas design. emmetts design is 50mm sidelength, In this reason I have scaled the holder to fit. STL file is one side, mirror in your slicer to get both sides. small gearcube is only downscaled version 50%. It does not work very good because of the extremely small pinpegs. My machine will not provide this precision. Also by scaling very much, there is to look for XY size compensation of printer+slicer. Normal size I have printed with XY_size_compensation=0 in the slic3r. Print tested in PLA and ABS optionally acetone vaporized. Globe holder is PLA only. ABS makes a lot of warping so there are problems to glue together.
