SKEWBITS v2.0 Puzzle Game // Premium Set + Problems 001-010

bit_A_red.stl

The Tsugite Cube has reached unprecedented extremities with this 4x4 version of the confounding puzzle cube series. 

Join all 31 pieces in the correct order and orientation to create a continuous loop in the form of a solid 4x4 cube. The Kawai Tsugite joint connects in 3 different orientations, so this isn't your average packing puzzle! 

As a helpful hint, no like colors will touch when printed in 6 colors... Consider that a part of the puzzle since it's already difficult enough, but if you feel like an even more extreme challenge, you can print it all in one color.

This download also includes a flashy Special Edition 4x4 Stand, along with the default cube stand. There is also an STL of the entire assembled puzzle if you need help solving, or check out my full [Solution Video on YouTube](https://youtu.be/yZwMSwlxIy0).

---

**_Printing Guidelines_**

Print at 0.16mm layer height with 3 shells and 0% infill, 5 top and 5 bottom solid layers. No supports required! The puzzle parts are divided into 6 groups, where no like colors will be touching for the solved puzzle. You can split the models into parts within your slicer if you wish to print/color separately, or need to rearrange parts for whatever reason.

The SE_Stand is a somewhat difficult print without supports. I used fuzzy skin with 0.2mm thickness and point distance to hide any wobble artifacts near the top and as a general aesthetic. I printed with 4 shells, 0 top layers, and 15% lightning infill. You may also need a brim or minimal supports to improve printability. The basic stand is much easier to print!

4x4 Tsugite Cube Puzzle

4x4_White.stl

A nice little hand brush and dust pan set to keep your place tidy! This small variation has a brush that is roughly 120 mm wide with 60 mm bristles. The dust pan is 145 mm wide.

**_Printing Guidelines_**

Printing the brush requires a well tuned printer and proper slicer settings to successfully create the long bristles using bridging. I suggest a 0.4mm nozzle and Classic rather than Arachne wall generator. Slow bridge speed, high cooling, and lower extrusion temperatures can all help get clean bridging. You may want to first print the smaller [Detail Dusting Brush](https://than.gs/m/1044850?affiliateCode=MAKE) to make sure your settings are appropriate before trying this larger print.

The handles should be fine with your default print settings. Six [6 mm x 3 mm neodymium disc magnets](https://ebay.to/3kMB1A4) can be [glued](https://amzn.to/44LMqVm) into the handles so they stick together for storage (make sure to get the magnet polarities right!)

Small Brush & Dust Pan

Small_Brush.stl

This large pot is the first in my **VESUVIUS Collection**, which features dense herringbone ribs to increase strength while creating a dramatic form.

VESUVIUS 001 is 250 mm tall and 250 mm in diameter at the top. The bottom footprint has a 190 mm footprint. This was designed for use with my [250 mm Floating Drip Tray](https://than.gs/m/1027171?affiliateCode=MAKE) to catch excess water runoff.

**_Printing Guidelines_**

The **VESUVIUS** series of prints are designed to be printed in vase/spiral mode in your slicer. For full scale I suggest printing with a **1 mm nozzle width** (even with a 0.4mm nozzle) and 1.6mm of solid bottom layers. No top layers. **Make sure your slicer is not set to close small gaps.** In BambuStudio I set the _'Slice gap closing radius'_ to 0 mm

For the 'wHole' version of the vase mode print, use the maximum number of solid bottom layers before the holes are covered to avoid interfering with the spiral printing. You can also print the version without holes and simply drill/cut your own drainage holes in the bottom after printing if you plan on growing live plants.

I've also included a 'Solid' version for standard printing, with roughly 3mm thick walls. This will be extra strong, but uses much more material, and I've found the 1mm vase mode version to be sufficient, even at this large size.

[_**V2 is now available HERE**_](https://than.gs/m/1377006?affiliateCode=MAKE)

ITALIC is an eccentric watering can featuring a playful skewed profile. The enclosed container is filled through an opening in the top of the handle, which can also be covered with your thumb while pouring to regulate flow. Like any good fancy designer product, it's slightly awkward to hold. How will you pick it up? :P

**_Printing Guidelines_**

The walls of this container are 1.2 mm thick, and only the handle portion is solid. I suggest printing with a high wall count (5+) to ensure that the thin handle won't snap off.  You also need to ensure that your printer can create watertight models, otherwise this won't be quite as useful. I used default print settings on my Bambu Lab X1-Carbon with ABS and it worked out!

Download includes a version with minimal supports since the handle is unsupported for much of the print, as well as a version of just the watering can. In either case, I would suggest a substantial brim to help with bed adhesion.

A nice general purpose cleaning brush and dust pan set to keep your place tidy! This large variation has a brush that is roughly 180 mm wide with 95 mm bristles. The dust pan is 215 mm wide.

**_Printing Guidelines_**

Large Brush & Dust Pan

Large_Brush.stl

I made these mounted trash bag bins specifically for the Red/Green waste bags used in my region of Sweden, but you may find them useful for your own situations as well! I have mine mounted on the cabinet drawer under my kitchen sink for super convenient and accessible composting.

The design consists of four parts:
- A lid
- An inner rim that connects to the lid
- An outer rim that holds the trash bag and snaps onto the wall mount
- A beefy wall mount that securely clips onto the rim.

Default print settings should work out. I used PC filament to make the mount extremely resiliant but I suspect most filaments should be sufficient. The rest of my parts were printed with PLA. Share your results if you try something else!

The mount has holes for up to 6 wood screws, but I only used the top 4 and it's enough, even with short 19mm screws. The holes are sized for threads up to 4mm wide, but you should be able to expand the holes by pre-drilling if necessary.

**_July 18, 2025 Updates_**
- The lid and inner rim used to be a single print in place part, but this has proven to be unecessary. The parts are now split and you can flex the inner rim to snap the lid onto the hinge.
- Added a new **locking** lid! This upgraded lid snaps into the open position to stay up on its own.
- Looser version of the locking lid is also included. Useful for thicker trashbags or less precise printers.
- **note:** You **must** use the Locking Inner Rim together with the Locking Lid.
- **note:** The new Locking Inner rim requires **support material** generation turned on! It's a small amount of supports, but this enables the flap on the lid for easier handling.

My **PLEIADES** series of prints are designed to be printed in vase/spiral mode in your slicer. I suggest printing this model with a **0.4 mm nozzle width**. Adjust bottom solid layers to be 1.6 mm thick (or the maximum number of layers before the hole is covered). No top layers. **Make sure your slicer is not set to close small gaps.** In BambuStudio I set the _'Slice gap closing radius'_ to 0 mm

PLEIADES Soap Cover 47x96x130.stl

This latest addition to the **VESUVIUS Collection**, is a small cylindrical pot/container featuring the same dense herringbone ribs that increase part strength while creating a dramatic form.

VESUVIUS 003 is 50 mm tall and 94 mm in diameter. This was designed for use with my [140 mm Floating Drip Tray](https://than.gs/m/1036823?affiliateCode=MAKE) to catch excess water runoff.

**_Printing Guidelines_**

The **VESUVIUS** series of prints are designed to be printed in vase/spiral mode in your slicer. For full scale I suggest printing VESUVIUS 003 with a **0.8 mm nozzle width** (even with a 0.4mm nozzle) and 1.2mm of solid bottom layers. No top layers. **Make sure your slicer is not set to close small gaps.** In BambuStudio I set the _'Slice gap closing radius'_ to 0 mm

For the 'wHole' version of the vase mode print, use the maximum number of solid bottom layers before the holes are covered to avoid interfering with the spiral printing. You can also print the version without holes and simply drill/cut your own drainage holes in the bottom after printing if you plan on growing live plants.

I've also included a 'Solid' version for standard printing, with roughly 1.2mm thick walls. This will be extra strong, but uses much more material, and I've found the vase mode version to be preferable.

VESUVIUS Pot 003 // Small Cylinder Vase Mode Planter

VESUVIUS_003_1.2mmSolid_wHoles.stl

The **PLEATS Collection** mimics beautiful origami pleats that are simple but impressive in their repetition.  PLEATS 001 is 149 mm tall with a 149 mm opening and a 100 mm base. It can be scaled up and down to suit your plant or another purpose.

This pot includes a drainage hole on the bottom for growing live plants and pairs well with my [200 mm Floating Drip Tray](https://than.gs/m/1027158?affiliateCode=MAKE) to allow for excess runoff.


**_Printing Guidelines_**

The **PLEATS** series of prints are designed to be printed in vase/spiral mode in your slicer. For full scale I suggest printing with a **0.8 mm nozzle width** (even with a 0.4mm nozzle) and 1.2mm of solid bottom layers. No top layers.

I've also included a 'Solid' version for standard printing, with 1mm thick walls. I've found the vase mode version to work well, but certain printers and situations may benefit from the solid version (eg. resin printing).

PLEATS Pot 001

MERIDIAN 001 is a lovely stout pot divided through the center. Pair the design with a filament swap for a striking piece that will surely make both you and your plants happy. BONUS: You can always use these pots as containers for other purposes. Scale as you wish to suit your needs :)

This pot includes a drainage hole on the bottom for growing live plants and pairs well with my [200 mm Floating Drip Tray](https://than.gs/m/1027158?affiliateCode=MAKE) to allow for excess runoff.

There was initially a glitch exporting the STL which caused some extra artifacts on the bottom half of the photographed model. I've since fixed that, but included _'MERIDIAN_001_old.stl'_ as well in case you like that look.

**_Printing Guidelines_**
Default print settings should work fine, though you may want to increase wall/shell count to help with water tightness. I used 3 shells, 8 solid top layers, and 15% gyroid infill at 0.16 mm layer height.
