Gyro-Tesseract
Description
This design was inspired by the shape of the tesseract which is like a hyper version of cube. I was thinking of having something like a rotating tesseract in my hand to play with, like a fidget spinner. So, I tried to make a smaller cube rotating inside a big one. My friend said that it is nice to have it placed on her studying desk. The files consist of 2 parts, the outer frame cube and the inner small cube. The outer cube can be printed without supports by only bridging the upper edges. However, I add a custom support for the floating upper joint as set in .3mf file. The inner part, on the other hand, was printed with vertical orientation, which does not make so much overhang angle but will make the model collapse because there is not a large enough surface to stick the platform. Thus, this needs a raft or brim and custom support structures to prevent the model from collapsing, and the model needs to be printed slowly with slow non-extruding travel speed so it does not fall either. Both parts should be printed with thick enough walls maybe about 1.6 to 2.0 mm or more, and with small layer height to make them strong, otherwise, the thin parts will be very easy to break. Printing the inner part is pretty difficult. Maybe I could find some better ways to make a part like this.
