3D Cube Maze Puzzle
Test your dexterity with this interactive cube maze puzzle! The goal is simple: navigate a steel ball through a network of winding internal channels from start to finish. Featuring exactly one entrance and one exit, you can challenge yourself by starting from either side.
Scaled to the familiar size of a classic Rubik's cube, this makes a fantastic, engaging toy for children under 10, who can typically solve the maze within a few minutes.
Hardware Needed
Ball Size: Designed specifically for a 7 mm steel ball bearing.
Amazon Link: Get the 7mm ball bearings here - (https://amzn.to/3MvQoxX)
⚠ Important Scaling Note: If you scale the 3D model up or down, remember that you will need to resize your ball bearing accordingly so it doesn't get stuck!
Printing & Post-Processing
Supports: Can technically be printed support-free, but some support is highly recommended for the cleanest internal channels.
Orientation: I have uploaded a pre-configured gcode file featuring optimized tree supports. Please mirror this orientation in your slicer to keep support material to an absolute minimum.
Clean-up: You will need a pair of long-nose pliers to reach inside and pull out some of the internal support structures. (The standard needle-nose pliers that come with Prusa printers work perfectly!)
Gallery
The photos show two different iterations of my design:
Grey Cube: The final, optimized version provided in the current .stl file.
White Cube: A previous development revision.
Updates
Added Printable Sphere: By popular request, I've added a 3D-printable sphere model for those who don't want to buy steel bearings.
Note: I haven't quite mastered the slicer settings to get a perfectly smooth rolling ball yet. If you manage to print a smooth version, please drop a comment and let me know your settings so I can update the description!
