This is a new print-in-place kaleidocycle that's much more printable, but just as fun and mind-bending! Turn it inside out over and over and over!
You might have seen this existing print-in-place design, which I still love, but which is a much tougher print than this one! By contrast, this one prints nice and flat on the bed, with lots of contact area and no angles beyond 45 degrees. Much, much more printable!
Designed for much simpler printing! You'll still want to make sure your bed adhesion is good and your printer is calibrated, of course, but if you can print my other print-in-place designs this one shouldn't cause you too much trouble.

Printed on my custom built BLV MGN Cube. Print slowly and and make sure your retraction settings are perfect so you don't get strings jumping between islands -- strings will bind up the working parts. Turn down your extrusion multiplier so you're just underextruding a tiny bit -- this will make sure that those gaps stay open. This one popped right off the build plate fully free and working -- the tolerances (at least for my printer and filament) were just perfect. Well worth the price. Now I'm going to go buy the other @clockworkspring gizmos. :-)
