Description

I didn't see a screwless version of this cube so I decided to use emmett's screwless heart gears scad file, thingiverse.com/thing:12208, to generate one for the derived companion cube. I also slightly skewed the rotation a little so the gears wouldn't all be symetrical.

Instructions

Just print one of every gear (1-8), the center piece, and 4 sets of pins.

I've also included a plate with the four smaller gears and another plate with the center and pins on it for convenience.

I don't know why but I have been able to print all the pieces except gear 6. It keeps failing, not that the code fails but the print become messy or other issues that cause me to have to abort the build. This is such a cool object! I want to finish it! Anyone else have an issue with gear 6?

This seems to have some kind of shelling effect, slicer can't handle the infill well, so printing at the suggested size means pretty much a FULL 100m roll of 1.75 filament!

I'm not sure what "shelling" means, but are you sure you are printed each individual gear? Don't try to print the Completed.stl because that's only there as a reference. You'll need to print each part separately if you want it to work.

This is beautiful.

Thanks! I was looking for one of these. Slicing now and will be printing soon.
