The file 'Fidget Cube With S-hinges 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 3.2MB.

Summary

The special thing about this Fidget-Cube in comparison to similar constructions is:

  • it is printed without support
  • the S hinges are easily replaceable in case of breakage
  • you can print every single cube in a different color

It's disadvantageous:

  • you have to use a brim for printing
  • good bed adhesion is needed to keep the dice from tipping over
  • the individual cubes must be assembled after printing

In return, you get a colorful toy that is a real hand cuddler due to its rounded edges and corners, and that can also survive or be repaired in a rough fall.
The S hinges are also used by my flexagon, take a look at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3083967

I recommend to use 5mm brim for printing, and use glue stick or similar. You have to print:
4 x fidget-cube_s-hinge_cube.stl
4 x fidget-cube_s-hinge_cube_mirrowed.stl
8 x fidget-cube_s-hinge_hinge.stl (without brim!)

UPDATE_1:
You can scaled this down to 60%, I have tested this (the purple-green one, 2nd picture shows printing on PRUSA MMU2 with one color change for 60%, and the orange-green one scaled to 80%) . I added downscaled files, but you can also scaled it down with another factor by your own in your slicer.

UPDATE_2:
I have uploaded V2. The only difference is a integrated "brim", for much better bed adhesion. Now it should be easier to print.

UPDATE_3:
Added a flat laying version (with "flat" in filename). Thanks to Jure Simon, I did not think of this orientation.
