Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
Parametric Gyro Cube
Description
I found lots of issues with thing:19026 when I tried to slice it. The positioning of the parts in the model appeared to be eyeballed and it required a lot of unnecessary supports. This one should print without support, and of course it's completely parametric.
with the experimental firmware and upgrades that are on my bot right now, I haven't managed to finish a print of this yet, and I probably won't get another chance to try for a few days, so I thought I'd post it now and see if anyone else wants to try.
Here's a visualization of roughly what it should look like in action: plus.google.com/105535247347788377245/posts/cB7JWab1Mo4

It took three tries to get the new Replicator teething problems solved for the 11 hr build. Neat item, I'll do a two color print sometime. ---- Nature at 75%

Scaled to 60%, but then the walls are almost too thin; the print head keeps displacing them as it builds the bridges.

Hmmm... got this part to skein just fine, but RepG won't open the GCode! (is there a max size to GCode files?)

This printed very nicely! The dimples and spikes may need to be elongated so that they share more space.

i got replicator 2x, i scale to 75%, i have a problem around 55% of the print.
i use the right extruder at mid resolution (makerbot slicer). the way it building it, my left extruder was hitting the part and unstick it from build plate.
