Description
The Cube Cradles are a set of six unique 3D printable models designed to hold and elevate any cube, including your ridiculously unnecessary hunk of tungsten. Perfect for showcasing various cubes, whether they're light and decorative or absurdly heavy—like a 1.5" tungsten cube weighing a whopping 1 kg—with a touch of humor and style.
Why settle for a mundane display when you can give your cubes the royal treatment they deserve?
Features:
Elevate Your Cubes: The Cube Cradles are crafted to lift your cubes off the surface, making them centerpieces that are hard to ignore (as if a 1 kg cube wasn't already attention-grabbing!).
Versatile Display: While perfect for heavy tungsten cubes, the Cube Cradles can securely hold and display cubes of various materials and weights, making them versatile for any collection.
Six Unique Designs: Each Cube Cradle offers a different twist on the pyramidal shape. With varying degrees of seating depth and twist applied to the mount, you can choose how prominently your unnecessary cubes are showcased. I show photos here of one of both the “small” and “large” tops.
Why Use the Cube Cradles?
Conversation Starters: Spark amusing dialogues about why anyone would own (and display) ridiculously heavy cubes of tungsten or any other eccentric collection pieces.
Perfect for the Unnecessary Collector: Ideal for those who delight in owning items that serve no practical purpose other than bringing joy through their absurdity.
Great Gift Idea: Know someone with a penchant for the pointless? Gift them Cube Cradles to elevate their unique cubes in style.
Printing Recommendations:
Material: PLA should be fine here, but you can use anything.
Walls: I used at least 3 walls here. Depends on how heavy your cube is :)
Layer Height: A standard layer height (0.2 mm) works well, but feel free to adjust based on your printer's capabilities.
