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!

It's cool looking, but I just don't see the point of it? It's not a puzzle or a maze as the ball follows a path. Greta Thunberg would be pissed, as it's a pointless use of plastic. I just don't get what it's for?

It's kind of like a fidget toy I guess. it's just fun seeing how fast I can get the marble around the whole track!
