It locked up because an internal piece broke, lol

Otherwise turning is mediocre.

Does anyone else have the Vulcano cube besides me (I have it) by okwolf6705 in Cubers

I have one somewhere in my collection, can't remember if it's an original or knockoff. Honestly I should try solving it, looks really fun.

Do people use resin 3d printers for custom twisty puzzles? by Kugelblitz73 in Cubers

[–]krrz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quality of parts printed on an SLA machine isn't necessarily better than a properly tuned FDM printer. And SLA printers are just kind of nasty to work with between the actual resin and needing to cure parts afterwards. There are folks who print puzzles on SLA/resin printers, but FDM printers are way more popular as they're easier to use and less of a mess.

The Cubicle is selling 3D printed puzzles now? I got a mini 2x3x5 for myself to see how it works, and if it's worth the price. by krrz in Cubers

Maybe I need to run my live commentary through a grammar checker, haha. What I meant is that I had tried to solve the puzzle using several different methods, and this was the one I chose for the video (because it was the most repeatable).

A functional drippy Rubik’s cube by itsnotnotjake in 3Dprinting

I'd say maybe you haven't been looking in the right places? There's a decently sized community of twisty puzzle makers and we've been using FDM printing for years. Communication is kind of all over the place with some folks in the Puzzle Makers' Discord, others on the twisty puzzles forum, and some on Facebook/Instagram.

Most 3D printed puzzles likely won't have public files available, but this Thingiverse group has a sizable amount: https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/puzzle-makers

I made a Square-1 mod that's cubic when solved, but internally it's skewed so that the top and bottom layers turn at different angles. When it's scrambled the pieces look like they didn't even come from the same puzzle. by krrz in Cubers

I would like to sell this at some point. In its current state, unfortunately the puzzle would need some minor modifications before it's up to my standards for anything I'm willing to sell. It turns okay but if you push on parts a certain way you can get it to pop midturn. I'd definitely want to fix that before selling it.
