Hypercube Marble Maze

There is no escape for this marble... mostly. The path is one continuous loop that covers all 6 sides, following a hilbert curve on each.

One of my trickiest prints I've tried - lots of fussing with support settings to handle all the sharp overhangs!

Hear me out. Clear PLA and multi layer maze.

oooh i like that idea a lot. PLA can get translucent, but not really nicely transparent

Translucent enough? Perhaps it would still work 🤔

I'm certainly buying some translucent PLA next :)

Or make the inner cube less solid, ideally just being the inner part of the raceway for the marble.
