There are tons of models for Magic/Rubik's Cube on the net. I was interested in trying to model one that is printable with a simple one-color/material printer, can be assembled without glue or additional hardware, and still has decent mechanical behavior.After having created an initial model I learned a lot of things that you could do wrong. In fact, my first model had tolerances of 0.2mm between the individual pieces since I thought this would improve mechanics but I found that those tolerances add up to so much extra space that the result was way too loose. That combined with some other design faults in the original model led to the situation that while it still worked it could just fall apart while playing with it. As a result, I never published the initial model.This new model is designed with absolutely no extra tolerances and I found that when printing with PETG this just leads to exactly the right tension in the cube to get a good playing experience. As such this also serves
