Infinity Cube with balls inside
The special thing about this Fidget-Cube in comparison to similar constructions is:
- there are balls inside the cubes (please do not ask for the deeper meaning, it's a toy)
- the cubes can be printed individually, in different colors and different materials
- the cube can be disassembled and repaired, if there were broken hinges
The balls have to be printed first, and then inserted into the cubes during a color change at height of about 16 mm (you do not realy have to change the color, but stop the print in some way).
The individual cubes must be assembled after printing, and the hinges fitting tight and need sometimes a lot of force to put them into place.
In return, you get a colorful toy that is a real hand cuddler due to its rounded edges and corners, and that can also survive or be repaired in a rough fall.The S hinges are also used by my flexagon and my simple infinity cube
Print instructions
First you have to print 8 Balls, and assemble them. Then you have to print 4 cubes, 4 mirrored cubes and 8 hinges.
I like to print the hinges with PETG, because it is more flexible, but it will work also with PLA. If the printer can print dimensionally accurately and you like a toy that moves easily, the normal size for the hinges is recommended. If the normal hinges are too wobbly for you, it is best to use the hinges with “strong” in their name.
