A four-dimensional cube you can hold

A tesseract is the 4D cube. This print file is its perspective projection into three dimensions: a small cube inside a large one, joined by six angled cells. The tubes thicken from 2.4 mm at the centre to 6.0 mm on the outside, so the shape reads in depth instead of as a tangle of lines.

The design was test-printed on a Bambu Lab P2S, and the download includes the Bambu Studio project with the exact settings.

Common Questions

What's included?

A print-ready STL of a 60 mm tesseract (one watertight solid, already oriented), a Bambu Studio 3MF project with the plate and settings it was test-printed with, and a README with the print settings and a support-removal tip.

Will it print on my printer?

Yes, on any FDM printer with a 0.4 mm nozzle. The 3MF opens in Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer; for Prusa, Creality, Elegoo and others, import the STL and use the settings in the README: PLA, 0.20 mm layers, 3 walls, 15% gyroid infill and tree supports everywhere.

Does it need supports?

Yes. The tubes are round and nothing is trimmed flat, so the piece stays symmetric; tree supports cradle the bottom frame and hold up the inner cube. They come away cleanly working from the outside in.

What is a tesseract?

A tesseract, or hypercube, is the four-dimensional cube. This model is its cell-first perspective projection into 3D: a small cube inside a large one, joined by six frustum-shaped cells, with tubes that thicken toward the outside so it reads in depth.

Can I sell the prints?

The license is personal use: print it as often as you like for yourself and give printed pieces as gifts, but please don't sell prints or share the files. For commercial use, get in touch through the contact page.

How do I receive the files?
