The Answer.
Also, just having fun trying out a some 3D CAD and printing ideas. More versions on the way.
This one : 42 Rosetta Cube
After the destruction of our civilization, this cube will help future generations by providing the Answer in multiple systems :
- Hindu-Arabic numerals (that is, "standard" numerals)
- Chinese (simplified)
- Tamil
- Hebrew
- simple counting
- binary
The choice of Chinese, Tamil, and Hebrew was an attempt to choose systems with broad usage; I am not fluent in any of these systems so I apologize in advance for any errors.
OnShape 3D CAD files :
Print instructions
Print in PLA using the provided 3mf files; otherwise :
Files are provided for 100% and 75% sizes. I opted to print at 75% size because it uses half the filament and print in half the time of the 100% size.
I experimented with many different infill options, but finally decided on 5% 3D Honeycomb as providing the best support for the top side with the minimal amount of filament usage.
I recommend printing with the "simple counting" (42 squares) side down.
