38mm (1" 9/16) Euchre Cube with living hinges

Printed with PLA.

Model allows single extruder to print multiple colors all flat that once complete can be folded into a cube.

The sequence I used required minimal change of settings.

Settings for all prints.  

First layer height: 0.2mm

Layer Height:  0.2mm

Sequence

1.  print Black filament first.

For each print from here, update the following settings

    a.  Remove G28 from the startup code.

Search → “Start” → Click on “Start G-Code” then remove “G28” from the “Start G-Code” 

(Blue highlighted below=Delete)

Section and then save as a new preset.

This will remove the axis re-zeroing to ensure each print is aligned with the next print.  Motors were zeroed with initial black filament print, so G28 will decrease the accuracy of each print if it's left on.  Sometimes re-zero moves the zero point just slightly, which you really don't want for this sequential print.

   Also removing G28, means the bed leveling is also turned off.  Again, this task was completed on the black filament print so it's not needed for the subsequent 3 prints.

   If you do not turn off G28 in the startup section, when the bed leveling is performed, the black filament that is currently on the bed will be hit by the nozzle and indented during the bed leveing.  Both should be avoided by turning off G28 (=Deleting that code)

  Just be sure not to use this profile for other projects.

   b.  Add lift height

Search → “Lift” → Select “Travel lift: Lift Height [179]” .  

In the Travel lift section, uncheck “use ramping lift” 

Then set “Lift height” to 1mm.  

The blue, black and red filament prints are 0.4mm tall.  Setting lift height to 1mm will provide clearance to previous prints.

Saved this profile

With this preset, slice the following files:

Blue filament-Euchre Cube.stl 

Red filament-Euchre Cube.stl

Last-Base Structure-White.stl

Before printing, rotate model over to ensure all models came in, in the correct position.

If you load all STLs together, this will ensure models are positioned correctly.

It doesn't matter if you print blue or red next, as long as you print “Base Structure-White.stl” last.

Holes to pin the cube together may be tight as I wanted a tight fit while super glue was drying.  You may need to shave the holes slightly, just to the point that you can put filament through the surface as well as into the square pads on the inside.

After a dry fit check that filament can slide through face and underlying pad in all three position, then I put super glue on the inside pads and in the holes on the pad.  Inserting filament will push some glue outside of cube good easy with the amount you use.
