Today is the day I finally present you my latest project I’ve been working on since the last 7 months: My vision of the #famous Rubik’s Cube that I love to call: The Globe! Because you know that “Rubik’s ball” was not very clear…
But why would I recreate something that already exists?
Sometimes I look for strange cubes that are working in a specific way but I couldn’t find a 3x3x3 sphere that looks cool. So, I made one all by myself !
For this project, I used SolidWorks, my Anycubic I3 Mega S FFF 3D Printer to make the colored tiles and a resin 3D printer I bought for the Worldskills, the Creality LD-002H to make everything else.
When I started this project, I made an entirely prototype in PLA. It was working well and was a bit too loose. Then, I made a second and lastly a third version of the “core” to get a nice and precise tightening with the screws. I had springs so the “center” pieces push the “edge” pieces to reduce the looseness.
Now that the The Glo
