Rubik`s Dice Cube
NOTE! There is a first (not good) version of cube with 0.2 mm tolerance. Best version of cube is published on https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6781983
This is a famous engineer Rubik puzzle cube. I'm designed this model myself in FreeCAD.
It has a next parts:
1 core
6 center "cubes"
8 corner "cubes"
12 edge "cubes"
6 pins for connect center parts to core.
There are some zip-files for your convenience - it has a whole plate of parts with supports (not made by slicer). Before assembling the cube, you need to remove the supports with a knife.
Instruction of assembly:
- Connect each pin into center "cube" with a click sound. See that a hole in center cube has a groove and a pin has a skirt.
- Insert a central cube with number 6 into the core with a click sound.
- Put this part on a table and assembly all of cubes (4 edges and 4 corners) with number 6.
- Insert another 4 central cubes (number 2, 3, 4, 5) into the core. Note, that sum of dice number on opposite sides is 7 (1:6, 2:5, 3:4).
- Put 4 edge cubes at a middle plane in according order.
- Put 4 edge and 4 corner cubes with number 1.
- Insert a central cube with number 1 into the core with a click sound.
For the best result, it is necessary to lubricate the internal rubbing parts with Teflon grease. You can also apply acrylic paint to the inner points using a medical syringe.
Note, that all parts of this model has a tolerance of 0.2 mm. It was my mistake, sorry! I'll plane redesign this model with zero tolerance.
