Joanie and I from the beginning wanted to create a cube, connected by linked mini squares, that can be unraveled in to a flat shape. On the left is our first sketches for the project, illustrating the general idea of the cube and its dimensions. In the code, we decided to make two different methods for the two types of squares using for loops. However, after some more trial and error, Joanie decided that it would work best if each square had the same peg layout. Currently, we are working on a way to connect each peg and allow them to rotate freely. The middle picture is the original idea using two types of squares, and the picture on the right is the first print of the all identical squares.
We decided on turning our project in to a puzzle, utilizing OpenScad’s looping strengths.
