HOW TO CREATE a 3D RUBIK’S CUBE IN a 3D MODELING SOFTWARE

In this tutorial article, we are going to 3D design a Rubik’s cube. The 3D modeling software that we are utilising is SelfCAD. With SelfCAD, you can undoubtedly make 3D models without contributing an immense heap of energy learning, and you can make both fundamental and complex designs without taking a ton of time. The tools of SelfCAD that we will use are the 3D shapes, edge selection, fillet tool, copy offsets, and so on. We will start by 3D designing a square and evolving it. By sorting out some way to 3D design this Rubik’s cube, you will get to know how to utilise the different tools of SelfCAD.

In this way, we should begin!



Insert a Cube

First of all, go to the 3D shapes and insert a cube to the working interface. Set its width, depth and height to 30 each. Then opt for edge selection.

Select All the Edges of the Cube and Fillet Them

Next, go to the edit menu on the top of the toolbar and select all the edges of the cube. Then we will go to modify and select the fillet tool. Set its intensity to 1 and level to 5.

Create Copies of 2 More Rows

Now, we will go to tools and select the copy offsets option. Set x to 30 and number of copies to 2. Then click the copy button. After that, again select the copy offsets option, but this time set y to 30 and number of copies to 2.

Make a Cube of 27 Cubes by Grouping Them

Next, we will choose the copy offsets option again and set z to 30 and number of copies to 2. Then click the copy button. After that, go to the edit menu and make it a group.

Colour the Cube Black

Now, we will go to the colour picker option and change the colour of the whole object to black. Then choose the mesh+wireframe option.

Select All the Faces of a Single Side and Colour Them Green

Next, choose the face selection and select all the nine faces of a single side. Then change its colour to green from the colour picker option.

Repeat This Process With Each Side and Give Them a Blue, Yellow, White and Orange Colour Respectively

Now,  select all the nine faces from another side and change its colour to red. Then repeat the same process with the other faces and give them a blue, yellow, white and orange colour respectively.

CONCLUSION: Hence, We Have Designed a 3D Rubik's Cube in SelfCAD

We have effectively 3D designed the Rubik’s cube in SelfCAD. This tutorial article manages the essential tools of SelfCAD like edge selection and 3D shapes and uses other urgent devices like fillet, move, and etc. Every one of the 3D models made in SelfCAD are 3D printable as they leave no mathematical mishandles that could make plans hard to print.

Once wrapped up with the design cycle, you can utilise the in-gathered slicer of SelfCAD to cut your design and produce the G-Code record that you can ship off your 3D printer.
