Summary

Like many people I have had mixed results with most of the fidget cube designs online. Some have inconsistent sizing (I assume because they were done is something like sketch-up, this was done in onShape) and some just arent designed in a way that allows them to print well. I came across this cone hinge design somewhere a while ago and I really like it for printing mechanical things because it prints well veritically and horizontally due to all of the angels being 90 or 45 degrees. This is designed to be printed the size it is with a .4 nozzle. I've have made smaller ones that work ok but it's not really meant to scale. Though if anyone wants it in a different size let me know and I can generate it pretty easily from the CAD files.

NOTE: due to the realities of 3d Printing the 2 vertical hinges (the ones on the sides when it's printing) will be a bit tighter than the top and bottom ones. I've printed several of these and they all work great and do loosen up over time but that one fold will always be a bit stiffer than the others.
