####Paul Schatz’s Invertible Cube, Hinged Version

##### Edge Length 75 mm

Schatz’s Invertible cube is simple and mathematically appealing. I wanted to add some hinges and make a long-lasting model, to be printed with PLA. Well, I managed to add the hinges but had a lot of trouble, trying to figure out a way to print it in one piece. With enough support and/or 3D manipulations, it is possible to print it on a good printer. However, I have not had much luck. I will upload the file and leave the challenge to other creative minds.

Meanwhile, I decided to slice it using the hexagonal plane within the cube. **Big surprise!** I got six pairs that are essentially the same. So one can print six copies and GLUE them together. To help with alignment, I added a square pin. **Using the tight version of pins, one can just snap the pieces together for an invertible cube**. Of course, a few drop of glue will help in the long run. And the pins are optional if you have so
