Description
Open, Close, Repeat. One Way It'S A Box And The Other Way It'S A Star. Then A Box. Then A Star. Repeat The Repeat. <A Href="Http://Mathgrrl.Com/Hacktastic/Wp-Content/Uploads/2015/07/Fidget_Star_Slow2.Gif"><Img Src="Http://Mathgrrl.Com/Hacktastic/Wp-Content/Uploads/2015/07/Fidget_Star_Slow2.Gif" Title="Source: Mathgrrl.Com/Hacktastic" /></A> This Hinged Print-In-Place Model Is A Remix Of The [Fidget Cube](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:230139). It 3D Prints Fully Assembled, In One Piece, Folded Up! A Snub Version Is Also Included For Those Who Like The Old School Fidget. For The Design Geeks: Thanks To Greg Knapp, Who Used Blender To Fold Up The Original Fidget Cube Model And Print It As A Closed Cube. His Youtube Video Inspired Me To Do The Same Thing In Openscad Code So That The Fidget Cube Could Be Printed As A Closed Cube. The Remix Gave Me The Opportunity To Make The Snub Side Of The Fidget A More Interesting Star Shape. For The Math Geeks: The "Star" Is A [Stellated Rhombic Dodecahedron](Https://En.Wikipedia.Org/Wiki/First_Stellation_Of_Rhombic_Dodecahedron), And This Model Makes Up Half Of A [Yoshimoto Cube](Https://En.Wikipedia.Org/Wiki/Yoshimoto_Cube).
