The Labyrinth of Questionable Decisions

The design is built around a fixed assembly, where all six parts fit together in a specific way to form a complete cube. When assembled, the individual challenges combine into a larger, more complex labyrinth that can be rotated and balanced in all directions, significantly increasing engagement. The project focuses on hands-on interaction, spatial thinking, and gravity-based control.

This project is designed around a 10 mm ball bearing. If you don’t have one, a printable "marble" file is included.

NOTE: Sides 1 and 2 are designed so they can be glued back-to-back, with one side serving as the ball entry and the other as the exit. Try assembling just these two sides first and see how it works before printing the entire project. Side 2 includes a small depression at the exit where you can glue a tiny 1 mm magnet to act as a ball “catcher.”

Printing Orientation:
I recommend printing all parts in the orientation provided in the files, as this is how they were tested and printed.

Recommended Print Settings (this is minimun which worked for me and my machine if you want to save filament): Nozzle 0.4

Cube:

• Walls: 2

• Top/Bottom Layers: 2

• Infill: 15% Lightning

• Filament Usage: ~330 g for the complete cube

Side Pieces

• Walls: 1

• Top/Bottom Layers: 2

• Infill: 10% Lightning

• Filament Usage: ~40 g per side

Corners

• Walls: 1-2

• Top/Bottom Layers: 2

• Infill: 10% Lightning

• Filament Usage: ~5 g per corner

Connectors

• Infill: 100% (solid)
  These parts are small, so full infill will improve durability.

Fit & Assembly Notes

Connector fit may vary due to printer tolerances.
It’s strongly recommended to print one of each connector first and test the fit before printing the full set. If needed, slightly modify the connectors to improve tolerances.

Glue is required during final assembly, or double sided tape.
