    So which parts do i print? i done the core and got it working perfectly. I notice only one side can be move with the dial. I have printed (Lament_Configuration_3x3x3_Negative_A) does that mean the B version has the turn dial? just want to make sure before i go a head on print more.

    • @TroyMackay
      @TroyMackay  Před 3 lety

      Correct, one core, A+B and I'd recommend the Negative version as you have. Both A and B halves should each have a turning dial and the centre gear (all one piece) of the core should turn from both sides, too. ie. from either dial on A or B.

  • @1982Metalhead
    @1982Metalhead Před 3 lety

    I've printed this out and cannot get that core to work properly. I put the bigger teeth into the slots of the box, leaving the little ones visible, but the box won't open all the way to turn and drop back down. How many layers of the core do you separate with a putty knife ? Also, the spring size? And do those smaller pegs that hold the spring in place, do you glue them to the box pegs or inside the core?

    • @TroyMackay
      @TroyMackay  Před 3 lety

      Sorry, I've been meaning to do a followup video paying special attention to the core but haven't got back to it. Firstly, the teeth need to be aligned (back to the initial position) by turning the dials (or not turning at all) - that's the locking mechanism. There are some "false" solutions where not all the narrow teeth align allowing for a partial open or sometimes the teeth aren't quite aligned or have a bit of play - maybe try jiggling it a bit or take the sharp corners off the teeth. Secondly, the core needs to be oriented correctly when inserted - the bigger teeth will remain in the tracks while the smaller ones can escape through the gaps at the end. You should be able to move the core freely in and out of each half from the fully inserted position to sticking half-way out the top.
      There should be 5 layers to the core all up, a set of two gears on the top and bottom plus a double thickness one in the middle. The gap should be visible in the model - and preserved in the slicer preview. If not all layers are separated the gears won't turn freely anyway and if you skip teeth, good luck.
      The spring holder pegs were an afterthought to add a tapered spring (5-6mm x ~30mm) diameter from a mechanical pencil I had on hand. There's a newer version without them with an integrated 5mm spring holder. I didn't need to glue mine, friction was sufficient to prevent them falling out (this will depend a lot on tolerances) and they go inside the core.

    What material is the Film version made of, in the story and real life, in case its different in both

    • @TroyMackay
      @TroyMackay  Před rokem +1

      In the earlier movies, a block of wood, stained (mahogany, ivory, alizarin crimson, prussian blue?) with brass etchings glued on and lacquered. Plus a few versions with movements operated by rods. Later movies like Judgement it looks quite different, maybe moulded. In the story, it contained some rather... exotic materials.

    What technique do you use to only paint the extruded parts of the cube, without the paint getting on to the lower bits? Tried doing this with some lighter cases a while back to no avail.

    • @TroyMackay
      @TroyMackay  Před 8 měsíci +1

      My preference is to paint it all and sand back the high spots, hence I included both embossed and debossed versions. It helps that it's flat so I can lay the sandpaper on a flat surface.

    Is the gear mechanism possible to print with a resin printer? Or will it just "glue" itself together?

    • @TroyMackay
      @TroyMackay  Před 2 lety +1

      As it stands, I don't think so. Haven't tried myself but the 0.2mm vertical gaps would cause the print to fail without supports and brittleness is a big problem for gears. Also UV curing the hidden surfaces might be challenging. The newer version uses a completely different mechanism, though.

      Not that I have seen. Also the one-layer gap trick used in the gearbox might not work in resin. You'll probably need a little support material to anchor it, or tilt it on an angle. I haven't used resin myself, so I'm not familiar with the limitations.

      Thanks. I don't really have the patience or skills to paint and finish it properly, though it would be cool to see someone take it on. It's the puzzle element I want to see through, which is also still a work in progress - can't call it a puzzle box if it's an inanimate solid cube, now can we? Probably a few iterations to come yet. It would be pretty cool to make it CNC'able (at least with my joinery skills) with real wood and brass etchings.

      Sounds like you just need a reason to get one! There's also a ton of printing services where you can just send them the model and they print it for you (I haven't used any myself). Use the files however you like. The core is a bit particular when it comes to layer height and tolerances but assuming they know their business it should be fine.
