Chalcraft Torus

A torus made from pieces that are the union of cubes. 5 pairs are needed to build the torus.

Maintained at: https://github.com/SmoothDragon/ChalcraftChain

Construction

Print five pairs to construct the torus.

Overlay mirror image pieces and then insert the final cube to lock into place.

The pattern will wrap around into a torus.

I needed to use needle nose pliers to squeeze the final locking cubes into place.
