Techlife selected this model, as it had the easiest design to work with, and the file is not manifold, offering them the perfect opportunity to show readers how to correct that type of error. So Techlife decided to use one of those models to walk its readers through repairing any manifold errors and optimising the model to print. Thingiverse alone has over 80 of them, each of varying design and quality. Naturally nostalgia is a big part of the ongoing popularity of the puzzle game, and with the nature of 3D printing there are of course going to be 3D printable Rubik’s Cubes. And famously someone even managed to turn it into an extremely creepy cartoon: There are official world records monitored and awarded by an international governing body called the World Cube Association. While the Cube’s heyday was the 1980’s, it’s still a widely popular toy, and has organised competitions and events all over the world. With worldwide sales of over 350 million pieces, the Rubik’s Cube is widely considered the best selling puzzle game of all time and is certainly the most recognizable. To celebrate the classic toy’s 40th birthday Techlife has posted a great how to guide for downloading and 3D printing a rubik’s cube from Thingiverse, even walking you through fixing corrupted files, and optimising the model for 3D printing.
