Cube Gears - Thingiverse 213946 - Cool toy, no supports

[Wellmeadow @wellmeadow]

I printed this overnight last night in PLA with 0.75 multiplier on Normal. It took about 8 hours (not the 6.25 it calculated!).

All the components are printed separately on the table, including the pins which act as the axles and hold all the gears together. Careful when you assemble it to make sure it is a cube shape start with. It’s also worth twiddle each gear as you insert it to loosen it up a bit.

Not sure if I can upload video here or not, but I’ll give it a go. If it doesn’t work I have posted it to youtube as well.

Nice

I printed the heart gear keychain and the pins for at least 5 times in different variations and with different scales but I can’t get those stupid things in place, it just doesn’t fit. I should try it with PLA as well I guess.
