Bored of a regular Rubik’s Cube? I have a monstrosity for you then! The Archimedes Cube is a 5 cubed inch Rubik’s cube with a marble maze engraved onto the face. It has over 50 individually designed parts created on Onshape. I just finished designing and piecing a final assembly together that can be used to see what the project will look like when it’s fully completed! I’m planning on shipping it soon, so make sure you check it out when it’s done!
If you like puzzles check this project out! I’ve finally managed to create a cohesive printing guide, as well as a construction README that’s available once the Onshape doc is opened. I’m working on creating a 3D reference model inside the project so you don’t get lost during assembly. I’m also working on my own physical assembly, magnets and all! My next step is to complete building the cube in real life, as well as on Onshape.
I’ve finally finished modeling all pieces for the cube and mazes! The last step I need to complete is to write and include a printing and construction guide. Shown below is the assembly PRINTING COLLECTION, which has everything you need to create your own Archimedes Cube at home, provided you have a 3D printer. Colors are not required, but heavily recommended. The Onshape link is included in the project, I hope you guys enjoy it! Any suggestions for cubit designs or alternate maze creations are welcome!
