The middle pieces for the bamboo skewers cube.

I could create quick a middle piece and test printed it right away.  It looks good.
The print took 1:11 hours. It is 4.5 cm in height and 3.3 cm wide.
 And it fits good in the construction.
There is allthough a problem. The opening on top of the item is to small. After two pieces printed it is always to small. So I redesigned the object and enlarged the top opening by from 3.3mm to 3.46 mm. That should do it.

After 1:02 hours the print was ready. And the hole is just big enough.  Again I measured in the blender preview file the distance from that piece to the centerpiece. The skewers have to be maximum 8.5 cm long. 
The next day I started printing more middle pieces.  After 6 pieces done the cube looks like this.
And here after 10 pieces are ready.....   Still 2 to go.
And here finally after a whole day printing all 12 middle pieces are ready.  2 middle pieces to print took each time about 2:04 hours printing.  Together they took about 12:30 hours to print.  What I still have to do is cleaning them with the dremel.
Measures for the skewers: side skewers                                                  15   cm
                                           middle skewers(middle to centerpiece)        10.7 cm
                                           corner skewers (corners to centerpiece)         8.5 cm
