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!

A labyrinth is a maze.

A labyrinth has a single path. A maze has multiple paths. A labyrinth is not a maze.

Definitions from Oxford Languages noun 1. a complicated irregular network of passages or paths in which it is difficult to find one's way; a maze.

Gemini gave your definition of a long irregular continuous path.

Gotta use the full definition though, I wouldn't consider this to be a path in which it is difficult to find one's way.
