The Cube consists of the following components:
- The Cube Body where all the functions (i.e. Mirrors, LED's etc.) find their place - insert that define the function of the cube are placed in the body before closing the lid (Cube-BASE)
- The Lid that closes the cube. It is attached by four screws. (Cube-LID)
The .stl files can be directly printed using off-the-shelf 3D printer.
An archive with all the files can be found here.
- Check out the RESOURCES for more information!
- 4× DIN912 M3×12 screws (galvanized steel)
- 4× DIN912 M3×8 screws (galvanized steel) - or use 8× M3×12
For general advice on 3D printing, have a look in the TUTORIALS.
- Quality: Normal, 0,15 mm layer height
- Support: None
- Infill: 20%
- Adhesion: None if possible, otherwise brim
- Material: ABS/PLA
- Printing time: ~2:30 h
- Download both .stl files - 10_Cube_1x1_v2.stl and 10_Lid_1x1_v2.stl or download and extract the BASECUBE_v2.zip.
- Place the files in your slicer and use the above setting. Leave the rest of the settings as default or based on the experience you have with your printer.
- Slice it, save it, print it!

A quick printing tutorial can be found here:
We made a change in the CAD design of the cube in order to be more generic (e.g. point symmetry around the center). We're trying hard to update the APPlications so that everything is based on the new design, but it's a lot of files and there are probably still some forgotten v0 parts.
If you're unsure, check out the Modular Developer Kit - there you find a general definition of the shape and size of the inserts which is up to date!
The outer cube dimensions stayed the same, but the inserts changed completely!
HERE you find the old cube - just as a reference!
