Now you can print piles of cubes and break them free!

Reduce your purge/poop and print something helpful for schools!

The idea of these cubes is not to print them alone (but you can if you want) but to use to flush into when producing multicolour prints. Once they are printed donate them to your local school, I am sure they will love them!

I have added a sacrifical layer that allows the cubes to be seperated and I have made stacks of cubes up to the maximum height.

To Use:

1. Once you have your object that you want in colour on your build plate inset a pile of cubes that roughly match the height of your print.

2. Paint supports underneath the cube pegs, turn on supports and set type to ‘Tree (Manual)’

3. Go to Process, Objects, Select the Cube, Others and select ‘flush to object’ and ‘flush to object infill’

4. Set Thick Bridges to ‘On’

5. Change bridge speed to ‘25’ (this isn't technically needed, but it should increase the cleanliness of your bridges.

6. Slice the file with 'Preview' and have a look at the ‘Flush’ value, it will have decreased (Note: you can ignore any warnings, these only occur because there is a gap to allow the blocks to be stacked)

7. Right click and Clone the Cubes, everyone you add will decrease the purge value (Note: you will see some increase in the total filament used, only keep adding cubes to the point that you are comfortable to use)

8. Print your file, seperate the cubes and donate them to a good cause (or build a fort with them!). Use something thin and strong and push through the sacricial middle part to split the cubes.

If you have any questions at all please let me know. This is my little project to improve 3D printing and attempt to make the world a better place!
