This is a 3D-printed version of the popular "origami cubes" that are made from paper and joined with paper flaps. They form connected shapes that can be folded in multiple ways.

This thing has two types of cubes, with different hinges. All images are of the same configuration, made in both versions. You don't have to start as large, the popular "infinity cube" can be made with just 8 cubes.

There are 6 different types of cubes 1 through 6, all shapes that I know can be built from these. SCAD files are included and can be modified to create additional cube types. The difference between the types is where the hinges are connected. Types 5 and 5a are mirror images of each other, all other cubes are symmetric ("left" and "right" versions are the same).

The "H" cubes are connected with an H-shaped hinge that should be slightly flexible (don't print that hinge from PLA!) All cubes are easy to print without supports, they should be printed in any orientation where the hinges are on
