3D companion cube. Its time to fire up Inventor and make my own companion cube.

Step 2: 3x2cube-proto-01

O.k. enough rendering it's time to print!
I sliced the cube to six sides and layed the sides out on a 3 X 2 grid. Total RP printing time 7.2 hrs

I can't wait till we'll be reminiscing about how it used to take 7 hours to print a measly 3D Companion Cube model and laughing about it...

This sin't really an instructable or a tutorial or anything like that... This is more of a you showing off the fact that you wasted time on making a companion cube....

does that mean that it took 7.2 hours to convert the model to a flat image? If so there is a program called pepakura designer that will do that automatically and much faster (it also adds tabs so you can connect the pieces)

No it took 7.2 hours to print the models six sides.

I don't think he means with paper. He used a 3d printer to print the sides. 3d printing takes a LONG time.

and now I really want to go print a companion cube for myself. so I think I will!
