OCTIX is a block and stick construction toy. The basic blocks and connections are octagons. The sticks come in 50, 70, 100, and 140 mm [multiples of 2 and sqrt(2)] since assembly is always at multiples of 45 degree angles.
If you ever played with Tinker toys then this system is familiar to you already.
My work is all free forever. If you want to support my habit you can keep me caffeinated.

Print instructions
The included project file contains all the items needed for a basic starter set. The set was developed and tested using:
- MK3S
- Powder Coated Print Sheet
- Prusament PLA
- Standard settings 0.2mm Quality PRUSA Slicer
I had no issues with adhesion. On three print runs I have lost only one stick. If you have problems with adhesion I recommend that you thoroughly wash your print sheet with dish soap and warm water. If this does not solve the problem then add a brim.
It may be helpful to set the "Elephant Foot" setting to 0.4 in your Printer settings as well although I have not had any issues with fit.
