Recursive Cube Fractal | Level 5

I created this model in FreeCAD by manually repeating a process of copying and mirroring cubes, with each one slightly overlapped to improve printability. The attached base was made by cutting and mirroring parts of the existing geometry, and it also orients the model so it prints cleanly without supports. Because of the extreme angles, I highly recommend using a large brim. I used an 8 mm brim for mine, and it worked out great.

This upload, level five, is a Printables Club exclusive, but the lower levels of this fractal will only be available on MakerWorld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1474042-recursive-cube-fractal-level-3-attached-base#profileId-1538255

Don’t forget to check out the photo gallery for this upload! I included some bonus art in there. They’re isometric screenshots from FreeCAD 1.0 using different visual settings. If you’re into that kind of thing, they’re definitely worth a look.

If you have any questions or run into any issues printing, feel free to reach out. I am always happy to help.

Here are the print settings I used for the BambuLab P1P (3MF Included):

FYI - The print took 13 hours and 17 minutes with these settings.

Filament Type: Co-extrusion Silk PLA (I used Sovol Brand, “Acid Blue and Orange”)
Layer Height: 0.16mm Layers / 0.2mm Base Layer
Infill: Gyroid, 15%
Supports: None
Brim: Use a large brim for stability. (Mine was 8mm)
Seam Position: Aligned
Bottom Surface Pattern: Hilbert Curve (Optional)

If you find yourself having trouble, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help!

Have fun! 🥳
