🇫🇷 OrbCube – 3D Printable Mechanical Puzzle
When Cube Meets Sphere
OrbCube is an original mechanical puzzle combining a cubic cage with an internal sphere split into 8 rotating segments.
The goal is simple: rotate the internal segments to align the colors and recreate uniform faces visible through the cage openings.

The OrbCube concept can be expanded into more challenging versions by increasing the number of colors or modifying the internal segmentation to create higher difficulty levels.
