Summary

This model is a fully functional 3x3 puzzle (Rubik's Cube). It is fully solvable, and turns pretty well. The performance of this cube would probably improve based on the amount of effort put into post-printing cleanup. Although it is not as stable as a mass-produced puzzle, this cube works well. Have fun printing this cube and seeing how fast you can solve it!

Dimensions:
The final part will be about 60mm x 60mm x 60mm. The edges are about 25mm x 25mm x 20mm, the corners are about 25mm x 25mm x 25mm, the centers are about 20mm x 20mm x 25mm, and the core is 20mm x 20mm x 20mm.

Part Details:
You will need 12 edges, 8 corners, 6 centers (either with or without text), and 1 core.

The only parts that should need support are the edges and corners.

Center With Text.stl: This piece says "3D Printed".

Center No Text.stl: This piece is just a blank center piece. This is ideal for applying stickers.

Shorter parts: If your puzzle falls apart too easily, you can try tightening it using these pieces.

Assembly:
Pop the centers into the core. Then, put the 4 bottom edges in place between the centers, using a flat surface. Add the 4 bottom corners. At this point, you can put the 4 middle edges in place. Then, add the top 4 corners. Lastly, pop the final 4 edges into place.
