Le Cube: 13 Switch Games in 1 Question Block of 5cm

Hi, thank you. First layer facing up.

Thank you :)

Hello and thank you for purchasing this design.
There is no need for supports – especially not the ones generated by Cura (or any other slicer). Just make sure to tell your slicer not to use any supports, and everything should go smoothly.
If you're unsure, start by printing a single face. If you don't like the result, you can use my custom supports (everything is explained in the documentation), but even then, support generation must be disabled in your slicer.
Everything should go well as long as your Ender V3 doesn’t have any major issues.

Happy printing, and thanks again ☺️

Bonjour. Non les cartes DS n'ont pas la même taille. Mais il existe un cube pour les jeux DS et 3DS. Cherchez parmi mes designs, vous le trouverez.

je ne trouve pas avez vous un lien ou le nom?

Hi,
Regarding point 1, I'm having trouble understanding—do the parts break or do they fuse together? If you're using the 3MF file without changing the orientation (with the outer faces facing up), I don't see what the issue could be. The best thing would be to send me a photo of what you're describing to this address: labyrinthelab.studio@gmail.com

As for point 2, the STLs are separated for those who prefer not to use a 3MF file for various reasons. But the files are perfectly printable on their own. I don't understand why they would be considered unprintable.

Regarding point 3, separating the files allows users to merge or combine them in the slicer and assign a different color to each part. For multi-color printers, this ensures proper color changes. And for monochrome printers, it's just a matter of doing a color swap at the appropriate layer.

In general, everything is explained in the documentation and the tutorials provided.

Hello, you can definitely print my cube on an A1 mini, just not all at once. But it's very simple. You can take the 3MF file of the cube, remove one face (the top one, for example), and print the remaining five faces together. Then, you can print the missing face separately. Assembly takes only a few seconds, and there are tutorial videos available.

Thanks!

Hello. The only explanation I think about is that I forgot a pause in one of my 3mf. But I didn't find any. Can you load the file you used for your print, slice it and send me a screenshot of the preview, so that I can check if there is a pause set in the right vertical bar ? Is that the only print with which you had problems? Did you try another small print of another object to see if it happens again ? labyrinthelab.studio@gmail.com
Thank you very much

I will check it thanks

I have had the same issues

What is your Bambu studio release ?

im using 1.10.1.50

Can you send me a message here : labyrinthelab.studio@gmail.com

I confirm too: while using recent stable Bambu Studio, and while printing "1 print question block.3mf" my X1C paused on the latest layer.

Ok. I have 2 solutions for you. You send me an email to labyrinthelab.studio@gmail.com, and I send you a new 3mf tomorrow (I can't access my computer now). When you confirm it works, I will update my files for everyone. If you can't wait, open the 3mf in Bambu studio, add a primitive cube. At layer 84, a pause will appear on the right slider of the preview. Delete this pause, remove the cube. Now everything should be ok. If so, save the new 3mf and notify me so that upgrade my files. I am sorry about that. This is a Bambu studio regression, as my older version doesn't have the problem. A pause at a higher layer than the total height of the print should never stop it. I'm waiting for your answer. Thank you.

Hi. Most of the times, it removes by itself when grabbing from the bed. Otherwise if your fingers are not enough, use pliers.

No, this has been designed to be printed faces upward. My original cube has been designed to be printed faces downwards, at a time where there was no multicolor printers. If you take that original cube, face by face, and add the question mark at the bottom, then if you know how to play with printing priorities, I think its possible to have what you want. The only "thing" would be that it wouldn't be perfectly centered...
I have a lot to do with other designs, it's not in my plans right now to redesign my original cube with new decorations.
Sorry really.

Don't misunderstand, I wasn't hoping to get a redesign. I printed the actual one and it's really cool.
Is your original cube still online ?

I could work it in Bambu Studio in order to get it facing downwards.

Yes all my designs can be found in my profile, in different collections. My original is made for 12 games. Don't try to put the new inner chain in it, it wouldn't close. But I also have bigger ones : for 22, 32 and 42 games :-). You'll find them easily in my profile.

Hello. I'm really sorry you have issues. I hope you're right and that's only a problem of moist filament. Thanks for the compliments. Come back when everything is ok.

I used the drying function of the X1C and printed it again. The result is awesome.
I'll have a look on your notes and post a make as soon as I'm done with the assembly.

👍👍👍👍👍👍 can't wait :-)

Hi. I need you to send me a picture of what you're telling me about because I can't figure it out. There is warping but the surface is stuck to the bed ? I just don't understand. All I can say is when I use a spray, I don't have any warping. In my profile you will find a link to my patreon. Register as a free member and send me a message. If you can't send me any photo, ask me for my email and I will send it to you.

I have the exact same problem om my P1S. The edge near the hinge on the top face warps up.. I can send you some pictures if you like.

You can send pictures if you want but it's the same thing, I suppose I won't see anything new. As for me I checked the cube I printed with my old ender 3 pro, and there is nothing. So it's not a printer problem. I would say it's the filament. Maybe if you lower the temperature it will be better. If you plan to print hundreds of cubes, I understand your concern, but if it's just a few, does it worth dozens of tests if you found a solution... I'm not you, I suppose you have good reasons to try again :-). In any case I'm here to help if I can.

The hinge on the top face is different than all the rest and the edge is very thin. I ended up reprinting it by itself and manually adding a support just for the thin edge (using support painting fill tool). It came out perfect. I might try to play around with temperatures so I can get it to print-in-place, but it snaps in really easily so printing it separate with a tiny support is no big deal.

Perfect 👍

Thank you. Yes patreon tiers are exactly made for this : being authorized to sell prints of my designs. Both 1€ and 9€ tiers allow you to do so. I made the 1€ tier to allow people to try if then can sell prints and earn money. I'm expecting from my patrons to show intellectual honesty and integrity. If they're happy with my work they support and reward me according to what they earn. If you sell for instance more than 100$ (you will have your own limit), maybe the 9€ tier would be fairer. But there is no binding rule. The moral rule is honesty. I will work harder if I earn more.
So yes you can subscribe to the 1€ tear and sell as many cubes as you want.

I can't agree more with you and that's precisely the reason I am asking! I will not take advantage of you in any way. Knowing that you set two different subs with two different purposes, the least I can do is honor your effort, knowledge, and thoughtfulness. Thanks again!

Thanks to you. But moral rule applies to me too. I would feel better if you tried the 1€ tier first. I can't garantee you will earn something. But of course, if you already have 10 orders, the choice is relevant. Anyway, it's your choice and I don't want to influence you. See you soon on patreon side maybe.

I understand your problem, but IF I was going to do a Minecraft Cube, it would not be in the next weeks. I have a lot of other projects pending. And the other problem is that I don't have any idea of what to do to make a minecraft cube. In my mind, it is a simple cube with no 3d decoration, but a lot of colored squares. Very difficult to print if not impossible. Send a picture of what it should look like. Once again, the probability that I do one is low, but if you send an image it maybe a little bit higher. Thank you.

My idea would be if the cube is simply green and has the creeper face on the sides. Or the sides could be brown for the earth and the top green for the grass.

If you print the question block without questions marks you will have a simple cube with flat faces. Print the top in green, the rest in brown. Play with these 2 colors for the trays and subtrays and the inner chain, and you will have what you're looking for no ? And for the same price ;-)

Hi. You will find my email address in my profile. Send me a message please.

Hi there. This one is for SD and micro sd. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/fashion/cube-de-rangement-pour-cartes-sd-et-microsd

Oh sorry I meant if you had an SD card version with the Question Block design—are the outer faces interchangeable?

Right now there is not. But this is in my plans. If you're patient you'll have it. I can't tell you exactly when, maybe a few weeks... Stay tuned :-)

Sounds great!!! Thanks for being so responsive!

You're welcome

I'm also looking for the SD card version of this Question block :)

Planned, but not done yet :)

Hi there. Only the external faces of the cube are print in place. The inner chain needs to be assembled. If you look at all the videos attached, you have all the steps to make thee cube work. Once the print in place part is printed, there are a few minutes left to the final result.

Thank you. Sorry, I panicked when I couldn't find anything more than a bunch of individual pieces!

No problems. You asked what you did wrong... Well, you panicked 😊. It is always good to read the documentation, especially when it's included in the download 😉. Have fun and learn.

Thank you ☺️

Thank you 😁

Hi. Welcome to 3D printing world. There is no dumb question. The first thing you need to know is, whatever your printer, you will be able to print this cube... Well, unless you don't have yellow nor white filament. The other thing is, there is a documentation coming along with the files that will help you. There are many ways to print this cube. If you have a multi color printer, you just have to "push the button". If you have a single extruder you will have to insert a pause at the right height in your slicer to generate the gcode that will allow you to change filament during printing. Google "change filament with [name of your printer]", and you will find plenty of video tutorials that will teach you how to do. I just hope you don't have a sidewinder X1 or X2. I have one and I hate this printer because it's so complicated to pause during printing. Anyway, if Google gives you an answer, you'll be able to print this cube.
Long answer to short not dumb question. Welcome again and good luck.

Hi there. About the warping, I think this is not the filament, but the model itself. As I explain in the documentation the risk of warping is higher, due to long thin parts on

...long thin parts on the first layer. So it is relevant to use spray like 3dlac or a skirt or both or/and reduce speed. Personally, I have a smooth PEI and I use a spray, whatever the printer. And it works very well.
As for the scaling problems, the files are alright, I tested them on a Bambu lab A1 and a ender3, same results with STL or 3mf. A good way to check is to look at the dimensions in your slicer. Open a single face, ask for scaling and you will see the dimensions. Then open a 3mf, delete all the face but the one you just measured and do the same. The dimensions should be the same. They are in Bambu studio and Cura as for me. Now there might be a lot of reasons for your problems. The most common is the horizontal expansion. Check out the documentation, it is explained. And I think that maybe you have a problem of STEPS settings. What printer do you use ? Did you try to print the inner chain ? I explain in the documentation that beginning with it is a good way to know if your settings need to be adapted.
