Geared Fidget Cube with hexagonal top and bottom surfaces for more enjoyable handline.  Cube is 35mm on an edge.  Recommend 0.1 layer height.  If you download the STLs, you'll need to print 4 bolts and 4 gears for each cube.  3mf file is setup for multi-material printing using PETG as support for PLA, these can be swapped of course, or you can use PLA support material.  Alternatively, you can shave the top and/or bottom of the cube so that you don't need supports for the textured bottom.  I printed these on Bambu Lab X1-C, and supports were not needed for the threaded holes, but if needed, and possible for your printer, print the bolts first, then insert a pause after about 60% of the threads have printed and thread the bolts in before continuing the print.  Check clearance on your tool head before you attempt this.  The difference between the cold bolts and the hot material should prevent adhesion to the bolts while printing, but you can either print the bolts out of an alternate material, or spritz a very small amount of cooking spray on the bolts before you thread them in.  Again, attempt any of these methods at your own risk, but if you're new to 3D printing, these are things to learn from, if you're experienced, you probably have your own tricks, and I'd love to hear them, so feel free to share in the comments.
